I've scoured the internet for hours and I've learned a lot about the subject researching solar and batteries. Solar seems to be too expensive for what I want to do. I just want to run a box fan for 72 hours or so. I am not great with electrical stuff
computer style muffin fans do not draw a lot of current and product a lot of air. just make sure they are 12v and not 5v.

disregard Johann, he doesn't know that transformers work only on AC.

You can buy another charger, or add a DC-DC converter to boost the 3 volts to 9 volts.

Couple donates solar panels to generate light at Occupy Boise encampment
Boise retirees Ron and Cay Marquart are active members of Occupy Boise, though they have spent just one night at the group’s Downtown encampment.
It’s not frigid temperatures that have kept the couple from camping.
“There was a tremendous amount of road noise,” said Cay, 66, a mother of two grown sons and a former teacher. “You wouldn’t think there would be, but there’s a lot of traffic down there.”
“I could not only hear the noise, I could feel the vibration of motors and trucks,” said Ron, 68, who is hearing-impaired. “There’s a continuous roaring sound.”
The couple, who moved to Idaho from Nebraska five years ago to be near their kids, have tried to help out Occupy campers in any way they can. They’ve donated big pots of soup, as well as second-hand coats, sleeping bags and chairs. Now the Marquarts have donated a pair of solar panels that are bringing light to one of the group’s large meeting tents.
How Solar Power Can Lessen the Environmental Impact of Camping

Now, indulging in nature can be even less negatively impacting for the habitat of wilderness creatures and flora. The creation and manufacture of solar-power camping equipment is a rapidly growing industry focused on making the use of renewable energy in all camping activities second nature.
What’s Available in Solar-Powered Equipment for Campers?If you are like me, you hate cold showers or the time and expense associated with constantly having to replace batteries in radios and flashlights, which often end up in landfills. Here are just a few ingenious ways of harnessing the renewable energy of the sun:
