Great info so far. Start paring down stuff now so you're more mobile, I linked the power bank that worked best for me. A small rice cooker is a great way to cook (nearly every park has a plug). You can cook rice, noodles, eggs, etc. If you really embrace this it doesn't have to be horrible. I really loved spending my evenings hiking, reading, hanging with friends, attending free events at the library, etc. What kind of vehicle will you be in?

Use the fueleconomy.gov/trip/ trip calculator to see about how much you'll spend on fuel.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is the most visited national park in the U.S. Be aware traffic will increase around the peak of fall foliage. It's worth experiencing even for a very short drive. Early in the morning you might have certain areas all to your self. Asheville is a cool town if you've never been.
IMO, the most comfortable tent is an 11' hammock tent. You'll want tree straps, an under-quilt (or camping pad), bug net, and tarp (can be $20 box store heavy duty tarp if you want). Generally speaking Ozark Trail/Walmart camping products are good bang for buck. A tarp may be the only way to keep any tent dry during heavy rain. Backpacking gear doesn't take up as much space. A lot of folks like their JetBoil. I have a cheap PocketRocket knock off and a lot of people are happy with their Etekcity stoves.
Don't keep food or food trash in your car or make sure it's in an air tight sealed container.
Stealth/private camping vehicle ideas:
Tri-fold mattress, blackout curtain, 35% or state legal tint, Rain Guard and ShadeSox (bug/privacy screen), and optional hyper-insulated custom window covers. Avoid covering the driver and front passenger side windows, not as stealthy. Only use a windshield sun shield in the summer.

If you look on your power adapter, it should tell you the watts, if not, to calculate watts, multiply volts x amps. So, for my laptop, it was 65 watts, and the Samsung fast charger is 10 watts for a total of 75 watts, so I could have gotten away with like a 100 watt inverter, but I was looking into getting a portable printer and wanted extra capacity.
I bought one like this off of amazon, worked good, but after a while, the USB port died (probably an internal fuse). But since it had "household" 110v outlets as well, it was just as easy to use the standard plugs that came with my laptop and Samsung wall charger.

This one is the same price (29.99), but 400W (400 watts):

At the time, I didn't have much money, but I would have liked to have bought a higher wattage one, like 2000 watts, so that I could use a hot pot to heat water for tea/coffee/soup, etc. The hot pot that I currently have draws 1500 watts, for example.
Yes! Two of these: Universal UB121000-45978 12v 100AH https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S1RT58C?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
If I had enough space I'd get more. When I upgrade to a van I'll probably switch to lithium batteries.
First off, it is not your fault, please do not mistake this for blame. Strapped on car carriers are for traveling only, and have no real security against removal but for high speed.
My recommendation, if you are going to keep the bike on the outside, is to use trailer hitch-mounted bike lock, and a locked pin or cable at all connection points.

And strap the bike itself down with a heavy cable around the frame and both wheels, to the bumper mount.
Heavy duty sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner (you can also make one yourself out of a bed sheet), a full body layer of "sleep clothes" (like long johns or something).
I got this sleeping bag recently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00358RUJ8
You can buy a little setup from Amazon that includes a blinking light that’s battery powered and easy to mount;

Also, read some of the reviews about how others mounted theirs. The blinking light might make thieves believe there’s a wired alarm. Of course if they’re real pros they’ll take a closer look and not be put off. But you can only plan for so much. Just a few bucks and better than nothing.
