You will need a dob trolly too if it's that size. And 4 people to lift it onto the trolly.

I think that getting a battery that is big enough for one night and recharging it via the car during the day is the way to go.

3A x 10 hours x 1 night / 0.85 (15% extra for 10C ) = 35AH,
to drain to 20% remaining would be 35AH / 0.8 = 44AH

So anything over 40AH but the lighter it is to carry the better. You will also need a car charger.
