What portable power station do you carry?

I've looked at some Dakota offerings. that looks pretty cool and I see it has a jump start built in. It's a bit light on wh and AC output for my uses but the jump pack capability makes it an interesting choice, you have some emergency backup power along with a 1,000 CCA jump pack all in one unit. I'm kind of curious how they did that.

When I camp, it stays stationary in the bed, only powering a Dometic CD20 fridge and a Starlink. Lasts about 4 days with the fridge set to medium and sporadic Starlink usage at night. I have a much smaller Anker brick that I use to charge phones and whatnot. Works pretty good, and I believe I can plug the DL Power Box into the truck for longer trips if I need to top off (never needed to do it yet).

And yeah, the high cranking amps are nice as a backup.

I own 6 jackeries. 2 x 1000s, 1 x 500, and 3x300s. I normally bring a 300 for my cpap, a 300-500 for my fridge, and a 1000 for backup and star link.

I use a goal zero yeti 500x. I have it plugged into the bed port in my RR (inside a smartcap). I then plug my dometic fridge into it. I’ve used it for up to 10 days at a time, it generally hovers around 90% charge by the end of a driving day, drops to 60%ish over night (the temperature doesn’t change a ton in Alaska at night in the summer because the sun stays up). I’ve used it for 3 days without charging but that’s pushing it. Love the setup and haven’t needed more than this for living out of the truck for a week. If I planned on staying put for longer I’d bring my goal zero solar panels, but that’s rare.
