I went to camp in the dome of the heat, and I saved these five tools my vacation

I recently returned from a family camping trip to Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I live in South Carolina, so in mid -July, the journey to the mountains is usually an excellent way to search for cooler temperatures. Not this year.

Thanks for the summer DomeI was facing a week of temperature-like temperatures of 100 degrees-not air conditioning. I went to the planning mode.

We were gambling in our Rockwood Mini Lite RVThis means that we have a refrigerator, access to power outlets, and water. But the camp had no electrical or water connections, so we needed our own strength and some mobile cooling.

Usually, you expect RV to provide all of this. Not on this trip. The camping can be messy when things get worse, and it is good to review the tools for a living, as I brought five of our vacation.

Our camping spot was in Cades Cove, a wide valley in the depths of the western mountains of the SMOKY mountains, about 10 miles from the small town of Townsund, Tennessee. We arrived after 9 pm EST, which was very late to start our birth; The camps challenge when you can run them due to noise, so we moved to the RV 12 volts.

Or so we thought. There was something wrong with the battery -connected trailer wires. We had to be creative to make it during the next seven days of vibrant heat.

Smart tool, save number 1: I was withdrawn Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL And put it on the table in our mobile housing. The large LED lamp that works with the batteries has provided enough light to empty it, and as a reward, the amplifier means that I can flow some tunes over Bluetooth from my phone during our work.

After that, I prepared Switchbot Smart Circulator Fan; The fluctuation and strong air flow created enough breeze to move the air via RV, which was a box of sweat seven hours after driving through Carolinas and Tennessee in the incendiary sun.

Some light, breeze, and music. Things were looking. a little.

With no strength, the RV refrigerator that was stored with food for a week was in dangerous danger. This is where a portable power plant came to the rescue. I recently started testing Ecoflow Delta Pro 3 For the strength of the backup at home, I have brought it to see what you might use during camping.

One of the thought was a test of the duration of which air conditioning could work in RV (something we never use unless we have complete ties in the camp). We have completely charged the main power plant battery and the stretch battery before we left the house, and when we connected it to the AC beach port for the trailer, everything silently Supported. It was a great relief.

At this stage, the use of the thirsty air conditioner in the trailer was outside the table. We wanted 4000WH of the stored energy capacity to last as long as possible. Therefore, it will only be assigned to keep the main electricity in the RV ongoing, including lights, outlets, hot water heater 5 gallons and refrigerator. We planned his juice with our gas generator (where I had no solar panels to recharge, or sunlight in the forest).

This is where I bought the mobile fans I bought in haste when I first saw that the expectations were useful.

My daughter, at the top of my naps, had this basis to some extent Be a fanThat I chose for her base on a clip and a decent 100,000 mAh battery. The fan lasted for $ 40 during the night for one charge, working on its average. It was also a whisper.

My son got this Be campingWith a 16,000 mAh fat battery, a bright orange color, and the built -in energy bank to charge other devices. I chose it mainly for its integrated kidnapper, which means that I can hang it upside down from the scary ladder. It also swings, contains built -in lamps, and comes with a remote control. I worked wonderfully for him, but he was a little loud at the top of his place. I woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that someone left his birth.

I prepared a Switchbot fan for my husband and me. He mocked my insistence on filling this. It is not completely compressed, and although it contains a handle and works on battery capacity or frequency current, it is not anywhere near the portable like other fans. But we were sleeping miserably without it, which my husband admitted gracefully after the first night.

The fan base can rotate 90 degrees, and the fan can move itself vertically, allowing it to generalize the air, which helps to maintain the comfort of the entire sleeping area without feeling drying represented in the presence of a fan that explodes on you. It is very calm, it has a built -in LED, and I can control my phone over the Bluetooth.

The next morning, Ecoflow decreased to only 10 percent. I was surprised that it only lasted 12 hours despite relatively light loads in a mobile housing vehicle, and we have not clearly turned the air conditioner. But I later learned that because we were using the frequency power, not the capital, The consumption of inactivity from the inverter At a large energy station like this is somewhat high.

My husband has created a gas generator to recharge Ecoflow. It took about six hours and gallons of gas to ship it to 90 percent, as we stopped because we needed to operate the energy.

It turns out that we were unable to charge Ecoflow and continue the trailer simultaneously; It was a lot of clouds on our little birth (scene now Eu2000i). We could not charge the Ecoflow power station while connecting the additional battery, as this increased the download of Honda.

We can reduce the lower entry threshold in Ecoflow using the app, but I hadn’t searched this before we entered the middle of the mountains, without any Wi -Fi service or cell service, we were lucky.

Therefore, we put the expansion battery and prepared the generator to charge the main Ecoflow during the day while we were coming out of the 11 mile Cades Coves, exploring waterfalls, cycling, walking through smokers, and discovering the bears more than we can rely on.

Without the additional battery package, Ecoflow continued for about seven hours, which is just enough to get most of the night – keep the refrigerated refrigerator and fans. When he died, the fans fell on their batteries, so we stayed calm until the morning.

We continued this course for the rest of the trip, and I really worked well, allowing us to focus on enjoying the time of our family together instead of dealing with the elements.

Yes, we had survived without strength; We were gambling after all, but these five battery devices, with the help of a gas generator, guaranteed that this was a family trip to remember the right reasons.
