Autumn rain in the Northeast. It’s the way it is.

@ladyofthewoods2448 11 месяцев назад

You look nice today Carolyn thank you I'm just getting started with this life your wonderful helpful

@pursleydl2009 Год назад

Thank you for the thorough explanation and demonstration for your power station. I love Bluetti. I have a EB3A22 / 600W / 1,200W Surge. It is very basic but that's all I need for now. I can get 2 nights of phone, fan and laptop charge, which I then re-charged 100% in 5 hours of driving. So easy! I hope to get solar panels for my next trip out. I recommend Bluetti to EVERYONE. Did I say, it's so easy? Just last month I took 7 days to drive 1,700 miles from Idaho to So. California. I loved boondocking. Carolyn, you have taken the fear out of my travels by seeing your example. Thanks again.

@paige_n_neri Год назад

I love that your microwave has the sticker that says Do Not Use As A Storage Compartment....lol

@captainnutzlos3816 25 дней назад

Got the ac500 and 4x of the batterys ! Only charing it with solar both strings together bring 3000 watts pv input on a good day 😌. Also you can put pv direkt into the b300s units ontop

@daveogarf Год назад

Carolyn, your hair looks AMAZING! The Bluetti sounds incredible - THANKS!

@normaevett Год назад

I agree, it is a good idea for home.

Been watching you since 2019 off n on.. and you're so cool Carolyn...thank you for all your information...

@cinnamongirl5410 11 месяцев назад

That's really what I need in my life. I love it

@AnneeGonzalesgranneeannie60 Год назад

Very nice generating machine you found. Hope to get a travel trailer now. Something I can pull with my new 2500 GMC truck

@TheRVWingman Год назад

Great review on this cool product…👍🏻 thanks!!

@BrendaBlystone-ub1fr Год назад

Well hello Carolyn it's amazing to see another amazing video today

@carolirvin9195 Год назад

I like that very much.thanks for the information

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

My pleasure

@eyeswideopen1158 Год назад

Hello Carolyn. Great information, thank you. 🙂

@nancyadamson6755 Год назад

I would love to have one, I'm gonna have to save.

@michaelzorro2738 Год назад

Thank you for sharing very informative

@elainemcintyre4407 Год назад

Great demonstration Caroline, we have them over here in Australia,but different brand names. But it’s good to see how they all work,cutting out the generator. Travel safe Elaine from Queensland,Australia.

@MBMCincy63 Год назад

I live in an apt, but I guess I would want something to have for the fridge and microwave at least. This sounds like a very powerful product. thankyou Always. shivering black bell thumbs up heart!

@humolovesjessie185 3 месяца назад

This Sounds Amazing! Thank you so much for your video, I'm trying to figure out the best Bluetti for me and my boondock life. My only hesitation is the fact that you "can't get it wet". Ouch! I'm such a clumsy person, this part scared me a bit.

@stuartriley Год назад

Amazing power supply for the mobile living or in case of emergency at the bridge n stir. ❤

@joannvannek14 Год назад

Great informative video.

@operationbs7610 Год назад

I bought the ecoflow delta and extra battery. The main unit was 999 with solar panel and the expansion was 899.99

@a.swifty1081 Год назад

Bluetti is amazing. If I were full-time with a bigger rig (I have a tiny Casita), I'd have a big Bluetti and find a special place to store it. Huge plus is it is quiet and non smelly.

@lindarickert7290 11 месяцев назад

Nice review Caroline. I’ve been researching Bluetti and plan to invest in one of their systems. Thanks for the great info! Ditch the monster fume maker! 😷😮‍💨

@irefusetoaskmydoctorifyour6401 Год назад

Useful information. With that kind of power, there's really no good reason NOT to hit the road!

@stephenmontgomery5807 6 месяцев назад

Great video thank you. Real world sun etc. I’m a longtime Bluetti user but just starting into travel trailer life. Needed something that can help the 15K btu A/C

@teresaellis895 Год назад

I assume your still in same area.I bet the trees are starting to change..I love fall so much..

@piernaline6027 6 месяцев назад

Night loss is huge, I am working on this point. Actually just leaving PV or grid connection plugged in costume 5 to 10% overnight. Battery self heating consumes as well. You can set eco mode to ON, so after 4hrs with no AC output, inverter turns off and eventually the entire system will shut off. Again, night loss seems something impossible to resolve/reduce, also asking Bluetti. A big headache

@cbryce9243 Год назад

I just bought a AC180 set and could barely afford it! I hope NV and AZ has enough sun.

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

Oh, they will. And you're going to love it. I love mine!! Congrats.

@ladyofthewoods2448 11 месяцев назад

Ive wondered about a solar potable generator . That sounds good

@alexandragoodwin8655 Год назад

What about small turbine, to use the wind for energy? Just wondering...

@Independent_DIY Год назад

I think it is a very bold claim to say that this will solve all of your power needs. The batteries that are in those machines are not supposed to be taken below 20% regularly or it diminishes the overall life of it. You got less than 10% of charge on a fall day. Winter needs and summer needs are MUCH more extreme. I would never recommend this over a gas generator for someone who lives on the road.

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

I understand why you think this. However the Bluetti LifePo4 batteries have built in battery protection, which means they can neither be discharged too deeply nor overcharged. Bluetti recommends discharging it to zero before recharging. community.bluettipower.com/t/ac300-2xb300-how-far-down-do-you-discharge-every-6-months/4966/3 And what happens if you run out of gas? Or we, as a country runs out of gas? Then your gas genny is useless. And I've tried starting my gas generator in cold weather. Sometimes it's impossible. I understand this system may not be for everyone. I've done dozens of reviews over the years, my goal is to provide information so viewers can choose what's best for them.

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

From Bluetti: BLUETTI Admin Sep '22 HI @kmackva , Yes, discharge to 0% then charge to 100% and do not carry the device during charging. This will calibrate the SOC. DOD is already set before leaving the factory. No need to worry, you charge and discharge to 0% will not affect the machine.

@Independent_DIY Год назад

@@CarolynsRVLife That's great that this product offers that feature, but all Lithium batteries degrade faster when they are brought below 20% regularly. All of that aside It still couldn't meet your minor fall power needs for more than a day or two it looks like from this video. Whatabout'isms are tough for me. But I know how to make a wood gasifier run a generator, so I'm probably better off than most people with a Bluetti in your hypothetical situation. We really are big fans of your channel, I just don't agree that this is an everyday power solution for people who full time in an RV. Cost for cost a small generator just makes more sense.. Also I've gotten our generator to start in -20, so it's not impossible at all..

@micolebrooks7305 Год назад

I’ve been wondering when there would be one big enough to fully power an RV. Cool

@caroliram1982 Год назад

How much does this system weigh, and how to you store it when you travel?

@raymondyunker9962 Год назад

The larger solar generators are heavy so it would be a good thing to mount it in a secure weatherproof location in or on the RV. If you’re generator compartment is large enough for this or any other solar generator would you consider removing your non working built in generator?

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

Totally agree! My compartment that holds my Onan is not weatherproof.

@NeelimaJenn 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the review! Carolyn! I have much lighter AC180 and thinking about getting an AC300 to run a stationary RV totally off grid with a 5000 BTU window air conditioner for when my animals have to be left at home. Maybe some rigid panels so i can get more solar in without haulinf around a bunch of portables. Couple questions - How the heck do you carry that 500 and 300s combo in and out of an RV and where do you store it ? Would the AC 300 be enough if Im not running things like microwaves. Just kettle, vitamix, small AC window unit only sometimes , and electric blankets in winter ( in Blue Ridge mountains). Plus I wonder if plugging the little window unit directly into the bluetti would get better/longer run time, instead of through the outlets in RV if they are receiving power from the shore line being plugged into the Bluetti. Happy Trails!

@renegadecampervan5017 11 месяцев назад

Never thought to use the microwave as storage. 👏

@darylcheshire1618 5 месяцев назад

I don’t drive an RV, just a small 4WD, a challenge (I haven’t tried) is to carry ice cream for 2-3 days.

@NicoProv Месяц назад

I would be worried that its doewn to 12% and then no sun that day. Would getting more solar panels fix this or more batteries? What steps would improve the chances of keeping 24/7 power living in a van/rv/ boxtruck type setup with similar power usage to what you use? Thanks. Btw greetings from a fellow New Yorker. Im down by the city though on Long Island .

@sky02148 Год назад

How long to charge it in the cigarette lighter while driving. Do you know yet?

@Fred-jc6yw Год назад

$5,000? Yikes.

@csmoothsk8ter17 Год назад

Great set up!! I'm curious what your plan is, if something happens and your gut tells you to drive away quickly from a spot now that you have all this expensive equipment outside?

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

Hmmm... getting murdered or lose some stuff.... tough choice 🤔

@BIGGUNNER845 Год назад

Until the price becomes reasonable, gas generators it will be

@CarolynsRVLife Год назад

What happens when we have no gas? And a generator that would run everything plus the gas to.run it over its lifetime would probably be more expensive..

@sallys2423 Год назад

Does it have its own solar panel or can you use the ones you already have or both? Or is that a topic for another video? In any event, that's a lot of power!

@fredherman5234 6 месяцев назад

you need a bigger solar array

@luisgonzalezjr.7465 5 месяцев назад

Good luck with your Bluetti Promotion. Unfortunately, Bluetti, and other companies of the like, have gotten extremely rich at the expense of American customers that they do not provide good customer service to. If any at all. They simply don't care to improve it.
