Great, looks like your laptop is fine with a 12v charger. Saves needing to install an inverter and makes it all pretty easy.

Plus you'll need something to plug it into.

Plus some red and black coloured dual 1.5mm cross section copper wire (I think you guys call it AWG 16), an inline fuse (5A) and maybe a bit of wood to mount it to.

So measure the length of wire you'd need to go from battery, through the dash, around whatever fittings, all the way to wherever you want your charging point mounted. If it is over 6 meters (about 20 foot) then get AWG 14 instead of 16.

Damn it, ended up typing after all...

OK whew! :)

I did this exact mod last summer on my new (to me) popup. I bought one of these from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CU5HI7U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) which gave me two USB charging ports and a spare cigarette lighter for anything else I might want to pop in there in the future, as well as a cheap battery monitor to let me know that perhaps I should stop draining the battery now! :)

Assuming you have a spare spot in your fuse panel, this is a pretty straight forward mod. Just need a 1 or 1-1/4" hole saw to mount this and some wire to attach to the panel, and a compatible fuse.

I use this boost converter for my laptop. I used a lighter duty one previously but my laptop can really consume some juice, and the other ones would overheat and fail. I combine them with a typical cig outlet cord and the laptop end of a cheapo charger. You could also fid a pre-made one if you know the specs of the plug and its power requirements.

I installed this switch panel and all my DC stuff is wired on a switch. The labels on the switches are stupid but you can put a label sticker over them. I also have several of these around the bus.

When you convert between AC and DC power, it's very generous to figure on only losing about 15% for each conversion. If you go with that, though, and you have a 100 watt load (laptop charger) using a typical AC adapter (15% loss here) through a typical inverter (15% loss here) to a typical battery (15% loss here), you're going to be consuming over 150W from your battery...And that's being very kind, it's likely more like 180W.

If you use a boost converter like the one I liked, it's more than 90% efficient, but let's just say it's 90%. It's only doing one transition, so your 100W load is only consuming 110W or so from your battery.
