I like to go camping by car. Is it better to buy a diesel generator or an outdoor power supply?

With the vigorous development of the national new energy automobile industry, more and more consumers choose new energy vehicles as transportation means. Among them, many friends who like to travel will choose to go to road trip. However, for people who like to travel by car, outdoor electricity consumption has always been a headache, especially for friends who plan to travel long distances by car, they will need to carry more equipment and consume more electricity. People are most worried about the durability of all kinds of electronic equipment, especially when driving to remote areas without municipal power support. Only by carrying energy storage power generation equipment with you can they solve their concerns. At present, there are only three charging methods for outdoor electronic equipment and household appliances, namely diesel generator, vehicle inverter and outdoor power supply.

Outdoor power generation equipment is mainly used by outdoor power supply. The reason is that diesel generators are generally bulky, inconvenient to move, noisy, and have serious odor when generating electricity, which will greatly affect the overall quality when traveling. In addition, the power of on-board inverter is very small, so it can not be used after the vehicle is turned off. Idling in place for a long time is not good for the generator itself, and non-sine wave inverter is still lossy for electrical appliances. In a word, it is difficult for these power generation equipment to achieve the best of both worlds, so outdoor power supply seems to be the best choice.

Self-driving camping is inseparable from adequate power supply. Compared with ordinary oil-fired generators, battery power supply has the characteristics of no noise, no pollution, simple maintenance and easy carrying. This can be said to be the best solution to solve the power problem of outdoor camping. Therefore, outdoor power sources with different shapes, capacities and functions emerge one after another. Today, based on more than ten years' traveling experience and my recent experience of ORICO/ Aurikko 500W outdoor energy storage power supply during my trip to Tibet, I will talk about matters needing attention in choosing outdoor power supply.

If you want to camp in the wild for more than one day, not only many of your friends' mobile phones need to be recharged many times, but also the audio and projection used for night camping entertainment such as projection, singing and dancing need a lot of electricity. Therefore, under the condition of meeting the carrying capacity of the vehicle, the bigger the outdoor power supply, the better. At present, many outdoor enthusiasts have installed 1200ah large-capacity batteries and high-power solar panels for private cars, especially the RV which is most suitable for outdoor camping, and can independently maintain power supply for up to a week to cope with the difficulties of few domestic camps and inconvenient external power supply.
