Never ending flat battery

Guys,you all know the problem ( I think ).I do few miles ( only 18,500 since 2004 ) and most trips are short so when going on holiday or no useage for a while the battery goes flat.Now yes,I know I could trickle charge or disconnect it BUT I dont have an outside power point.SO,anyone know of a GOOD jump start piece of kit OR another way to solve this annoying problem ?? 

Thanks

    I have a Sealey jump start pack built in compressor and work light it is a few years old now and I am happy to say rarely used these days.

    Brought it on line from Sealey tools about 20 years ago

    Solar panel trickle charger?

    we have one in the motorhome which keeps it topped up. 
     

    …. granted, ours might be a bit big to fit on the dash but they are good!
