Update solar, battery, inverter or portable power?

Hi Techies. A little similar to the post by 'ottg' but a slightly different angle - my van has a 100w solar panel, 100 Ah AGM battery and no inverter.
I'm after approx 350w solar, 240Ah lithium battery, 2000w inverter.
Am I better off going this way or looking at a portable power station - Bluetti, iTech World, of comparable power output? (+ solar blanket).
Thanks for your two bobs.
Noel

In my experience, so called "power stations" are very expensive boxes of bits you probably don't need connected to batteries of unknown quality.
Choose quality components of the capacity you actually need and connect them in a quality manner in order that you can update or replace individual bits in the event of failure or changed requirements.
Cheers,

Hi all; NoelB, The 350 Watts of solar, may be a bit on the light side, and if you can afford it go for a bigger Lithium battery ( i have a 300 Ah and have power to burn ). But may main question is why do you need a 2000 Watt inverter for ???
