The simplest, and probably least expensive way to have 12 volts available is to install a small 12V battery like one for a garden tractor, and an onboard trickle charger. Just plug it in occasionally to keep the battery charged. Solid-state accessories like a normal radio/CD player, etc. (not some mega-watt booster) and power taps for cell phones, etc. use very little current. An occasional recharge overnight will keep the auxiliary battery topped out with no problems.
