Look at the power consumption of the monitor - for a 19 'LCD it's 20-40 watts offhand, raspberries - 3.5 W (taking into account the efficiency of the power supply - approx. 4 W). Add up. It turns out ok 24-44 watts. We take a margin of two or three times - we get the required power of 100-150 W.
Go to the catalog of automotive inverters or converters, and you see many inexpensive options that easily cover this power range for long-term operation.
Then you read reviews on specific models - mainly on the reliability of work, and choose.
