RV FEATURE
Solar generators can use portable solar panels to recharge . No smelly petrol fumes to worry about .
FINAL ASSESSMENT
Solar generators have certainly come a long way since I first started looking at them all those years ago . Their capabilities are such that , for the majority of caravanners , they present a very viable alternative backup power source to a petrol generator in almost every circumstance .
They are smaller and lighter than the equivalent petrol generator , you don ’ t have to carry extra fuel , and you can store them inside the cabin of your tow vehicle . They will power almost any appliance you can think of and you can use them any time of the day or night without disturbing your neighbours .
I ’ m not suggesting solar generators can do everything a petrol generator can do but , in my opinion , they come very close . They will even do some tasks their petrol cousins can ’ t .
From my perspective , the capabilities of the EcoFlow Delta 2 , and other solar generators like it , are more than sufficient for our backup power needs . So much so that we simply do not need a petrol generator anymore .
