Quick answers

How big a power station for a weekend of camping?

A 12 V cooler (12 W, 48 h), four LED bulbs (34 W, 5 h a night) and phones (10 W, 3 h a day) for two days: 976 Wh ÷ 0.85 = about 1,148 Wh of rated capacity. The ALLPOWERS R1500 (1,152 Wh) just covers it; for any margin, go to 2,000 Wh or add solar.

Will a 200 W panel keep up?

In strong sun it adds about 150 W, so roughly 6.7 sun hours for 1,000 Wh.
