    Love your videos. It's totally worth investing in high voltage commercial pannels. I covered my whole 4 window skoolie with 4 pannels and it pumps 1000 watts on a shabby day and like 1800 on a perfect day. you can instal them on the side too for winter

    I think the other solid state power station was proven to be fake and a regular lithium. Wonder if this one is fake too.

    Is your house battery being charged when the engine is running? I hear so many UA-camrs talk about the engine charging through the alternator. I've looked at several schematics on how to route the wiring, the type of wire-gages, what you should and shouldn't do, wiring it in series or parallel and how much amperage you get if you wire it this was vs the other way that I'm completely bumfuzzled. I wish someone would write a book - " How To Set Up A Solar System For The Complete Idiot", because that would become the number 1 best sold book around the world! Anyway, Happy trails and safe travels to you my friend!

    Of course you need power but you’re doing it the wrong, you’re using portable power in a permanent scenario. Why not do it the right way and put Lifepo4 100ah or 200ah batteries permanently installed in the vehicle with rooftop mounted solar panels. Do you really want to forever mess with plugging in power stations all the time and setting up and taking down solar panels. Get Redodo as a sponsor instead 😂😂😂

    Cool video. This is the second power station I’ve seen you review with a 30amp plug. So now I have to decide between the Dabbson and the Oupes.

    Yeah, I understand the need for power. I have an inverter/converter in my little 10 foot off-road trailer that is failing. And I’ve bought into the EcoFlow family of products, so I’m looking to redo the power system in the trailer. The problem with most of these portable battery stations as I see it is that they’re all set up for 110V power. Usually you only get 4 to 6 USB outlets and one 12V outlet most of our grid camping stuff all runs on 12V. I haven’t really figured out an energy efficient way to use those 12V appliances like: max fans, lights, water tank heaters, water pumps, USB and 12V accessory outlets. I think that one of these portable battery bank manufacturers needs to come out with either an external module to provide 12V power or a dedicated 12V portable battery bank.

    Oupes is way better . The Meg 3 would be more than enough power and has a true 30 amp plug..at 2150 ah it's not a true 30 amp plug.
