Power station for RV and van camping

Fridge, lights and phones at a dry campsite without firing up the loud generator. We add the running watts and the startup surge, then show you the unit that fits.

Most RV parks ban generators after 10 pm, which is exactly when the fridge still needs to run. A 1,000Wh station carries a 12V RV fridge and the lights overnight; a 2,000Wh unit gets you two nights or the microwave. Charge it off the truck while you drive with a 12V charger and off a panel at camp. Keep the gas generator for the AC and the dry-camping weeks.

Storm season

Peak is the second week of September.

Statistically the busiest stretch of the Atlantic season lands around September 10. The units people want sell out in the three days before a storm, not after — that's the whole reason to size it now.

That load is standby-generator territory. Central AC or electric heat on top of everything else means a permanently installed unit and an electrician — or uncheck the biggest load and run it in shifts with a portable.

Safety, the short version: generator outside only, 20+ ft from windows, exhaust pointed away. Never plug into a wall outlet ("backfeeding") — it's illegal and can electrocute utility workers. Panel connections go through a transfer switch or interlock installed per code. Wattages above are typical; your appliance's nameplate is the truth — check it for anything critical like medical equipment or a well pump.
