You can buy them on eBay. Ours has a USB charging point on it too. Works well.

To my knowledge Apple don't make a 12v adapter, nor do they licence anyone else to do so.

The one Jim pointed to doesn't have the Magsafe 2 tip .. check which one you require if ordering.

I use a PSW Inverter to power our MacBooks, it is also useful for charging camera batteries which don't have a 12v charger option.

Note: Use any third party power supply at your own risk, warranty will be void if it damages the Mac.

Like you, all my charging in the van is via an inverter, but I have a big battery bank these days. I did use the 12v in the Hymer though as my 2kw inverter used so much juice just to run.. These days My 12v Mac charger lives in my Landrover.

Nuts though it may appear this works a treat, on both a small Mac book and the 15" macbook pro, wired to the 12v system, either engine or habitation battery.

A small caviat, I'm not brave enough to use the attached USB port at the same time
