We traveled to a secret PA State Forest in the mountains to dry camp or off grid camp. Only our Bluetti AC 200 - 1700 wh, Jackery 500 and 160 to keep the lights on while we stayed nice and toasty warm. All powered by HQST 9 100 watt solar panels. With temps from 50 during the day to 30 in the evening. We camped for 3 nights and 4 days with a two Overlander Friends.
We hit the road on Friday at 10:30 am where we started off running our Jackery 500 with the Iceco Icooler fridge the full trip (plus a few short minutes running electric blankets to get the bed warm. The Truck Camper was powered by the Bluetti AC200 (this includes the furnace all 3 nights and some microwaving). The Jackery 160 powered all our small items. Charging phones, TV with Screen Beam and charging of small led light bars.
