4 Reasons Every RV Owner Needs A Portable Power Station

Whether you are towing a small pop-up camper or driving a 40-foot diesel pusher, you can never have too many options for readily available AC and DC power. Even if your RV is equipped with a bank of house batteries, solar panels, and a generator, having a supplemental power source can be invaluable. Here are 4 reasons that ALL RV owners need a portable power station.

1. So you can stop tripping breakers and blowing fuses

Inevitably, someone will bring a hair dryer on a camping trip. While this certainly goes against the unwritten rules of camping, it happens and will continue to happen. Hair dryers have a nasty habit of blowing fuses and tripping breakers.
In many RVs, these breakers can be hard to find and even harder to get to. If you are rentign a RV, you may not even know where to look.
Losing power in the middle of a Yellowstone campground that only offers dry camping is not fun. Calling the renter owner late in the evening so they can walk you through finding the breaker panel isn’t either. 
As is often the case, the hair dryer is trying to run the same time as another far more important machine, the coffee maker. Now you are scrambling around, uncaffeinated, trying to find the breaker panel in the early morning while trying not to disturb other campers.
It’s a bad recipe for tension and stress and can easily be avoided with a portable power station. By using something like the VIGOROUS VXL2000 to run that hair dryer or coffee machine, you take the strain off your RV’s power and onto a portable power station that can handle it.

2. Your RV doesn’t have enough outlets

If your RV is more than a few years old, it likely does not have enough power outlets for today’s mobile lifestyle. Older RVs typically have a power outlet at the kitchen counter, the bathroom, and perhaps one or two for the living space.
Those RV designers from a decade or two ago couldn’t possibly have imagined the power requirements RVers have today. Even if there were enough outlets, for an RV to be able to provide an entire family’s evening power requirement is unlikely. With each family member needing to charge phones, tablets, laptops, watches, flashlights, and more every evening, someone is going to get left off the power grid. 
A portable power station can solve this problem. With the ability to charge from four different sources (solar, AC, 12-volt, generator) a VIGOROUS POWER STATION can charge throughout the day and be ready to provide extra power in the evening when the family needs it. The wide array of charging ports means it will accommodate several devices at one time.

3. It’s hot outside and your air conditioner needs help

A lot of RVing takes place in the summer months, for obvious reasons. Many RVs often struggle to get more than one air conditioner unit running, depending on the power available to them.
Whether you are boondocking with solar, running a generator, or plugged into a power stalk, air conditioners need lots of power to get started. You can alleviate some of that with a SoftStart Device,but it would be great to have an easy way to shed power also.
With VIGOROUS you can offload some of those functions. Need a couple of quick loads of ice? Plug that portable ice maker into a power station. Once your ice is done you can transfer it to a blender and make something icy and cold.
Blenders draw a decent amount of power, so plug that into the power station as well. The point is, during those peak heat hours when your air conditioner needs all the help it can get, help it with a VIGOROUS POWER STATION.

4. You don’t stay inside all the time
Ultimately, camping and RVing is about getting outside to see the world around you. Sometimes that world is no farther away than your campsite.
Do you really want to prop open a storage bay door and run extension cords and power strips to the patio area? Why not just grab a VIGOROUS POWER STATION  With DC5V USB,12-volt lighter socket, and AC 220V or 110V AC outlets, everyone can plug in without having to worry about extension cords you won’t see later when it’s dark.
Headed to a potluck or get together at another campsite or the clubhouse? Bring the power with you. At just Only 16KG,The VXL2000 POWER STATION,is very manageable to haul for a short distance, and of course, would be a breeze on the seat of the golf cart.
