That's pretty sick! I run an Anker Solix C1000 gen 2. It runs our fridge and charges our devices all weekend without having to recharge. Planning on adding a DCDC charger to keep it topped off though.

I know a lot of people bring a power station along on trips and camping, what do you bring? I chose to build my own since I had a spare battery. It's 1,280wh with a 1,000 watt pure sine wave inverter, USB ports, 12V socket, 120VAC socket, shunt with display, cooling fans and a 120VAC inlet on the side for charging via a self contained Victron 15 amp charger. It weighs 40 lbs and fits nicely in the back seat of the Ranger, and can be carried with one hand. It will run my 12 volt cooler for up to several days depending on weather of course.

No solar yet but thinking about a portable array with a built in charge controller if anyone has recommendations on one.
What do you carry?

This was years before cell phones existed

The only power box I carried was many years ago. We started camping with a tent. I put two 6 volt lantern batteries in a wooden box I made and used a 12 volt cigarette socket for the output to power our small 12 volt black & white TV. 🤣

I carry a Bluetti E100V2 and I use their Charger 1 to charge it. It works well for me.

We had one of those tiny 4" B&W TVs in the truck camper and I installed a cig lighter plug in the dinette.
