RV POWER SOLUTIONS for WHAT’S COMING NEXT
Description
RVer’s….BETTER GET PREPARED NOW. Supply Chain crumbling, fuel shortages, frail electrical grid,
rolling black outs, harsh winter freeze shuts down utilities, hurricanes, storms, fires and more. RVer’s better take heed to be better prepared on the power needs of their RV and have multiple backup power sources and solutions. If RVer’s and especially full time RVer’s rely solely on their onboard generator and house battery bay, they are at risk if any one item fails in either of those two power sources.
The historic winter of 2020 and especially in Texas, whether you lived in a house or an RV, this event should of been a rude awaking for all of us. It was for me, even though we did fine in that event. So many people were just not prepared. There was no water, no electricity, grocery stores were closed, gas stations didn’t have any fuel, folks lost all their groceries in their fridge and people couldn’t even keep warm. Today I’m going to cover what I’ve done to be better prepared all year round for WHAT COULD BE COMING UP NEXT.
All this year while living and traveling full time in our RV, I’ve spent countless hours thinking through what exactly I wanted accomplish and what equipment I needed to have “multiple” options for RV power. I have perfected the ability to live in our RV with 15amps if we have to and we do that often as I showed you in a recent video. https://youtu.be/QkTupmk2y3Y
In the above video I explained why I didn’t spend a small fortune equipping our RV with a lithium battery bay which some of you have and especially those of you who live off grid a lot. I get that. But we don’t do that type of living often enough to warrant that kind of investment. In addition to the costs involved converting to lithium, I don’t want all my eggs in one basket. If any ONE thing goes wrong on any system, that system is down, and it’s not something I want to face in an emergency situation. I like multiple options. The military taught me these strategic skills and it’s served me well all my life.
The 5 things I’ve done this year to be better prepared going forward:
• Purchased a Honda EU2200i generator
• Purchased a Bluetti AC200P Solar/Power Generator
• Purchased a Bestek, 500watt pure sine wave inverter for the car
• Purchased (2) self contained LuminAID Packlite Max 2-in-1, USB charger and Lantern (no need to ever purchase additional batteries)
• My Zamp 230watt Solar panel that I already had
NOTE: All available in my Amazon Store
My final thoughts on what I’ve done this year:
• I did this all this for less of the cost of going full lithium
• I’m prepared now in multiple ways with diversified power sources
• I can use my Honda generator and the Bluetti AC200P together if I want or need more power
• I can use my Honda generator—using a minimal amount of fuel—to charge the Bluetti if I need to
• All these options are portable and can be moved around as I need them
• I’m not tied to—or dependent on—the grid or my battery bay in any emergency or non emergency situation
• I wanted “multiple portable options” for power. And when this traveling full time party comes to and end—and it will end some day—Joanie & I will be able to take all these options with us and move them to our 5th wheel that we’re going to settle into at our RGV site in southern Texas
