The vehicle was old enough to have a hand throttle so nothing as new fangled as a 110V outlet!

That said, the jump starter I was using had a 12V input and a separate 220V/12V transformer for charging so I assume I could have plugged into the vehicle periodically as you suggest.

These days I just keep a set of extra long H/D jumper leads in the vehicle, but I don't tend to get anywhere too remote at the moment..
