Thanks for the straight forward test! I really like how small the battery and panel are together.

Instructions - we don’t need those! 😂love the briefcase aspect of that panel. I go back and forth with solar… grey till may up here! Keep the fridge going! 😂🎉

Right on, this setup did a great job of keeping the fridge going at the BW rally. Not much with 100W but the tiny camper does not need too much. We still have the lead acid battery to keep lights running. We keep it simple, less is more. Appreciate the comment!

The Panels definitely help. We spent 4 days in Big Bend with no shore power and our EcoFlow portable panels kept our EcoFlow Riverpro 720 going the whole time, powering our trailer lighting and keeping the 42Qt 12v fridge going. Only had evening sun and not full sun everyday as we were out exploring and could not be there to move the panels around.

It's been a good addition for us. The RiverPro is a great unit, we are considering for the next upgrade.

Love your little camper. We looked at those before deciding to build out a cargo trailer. Love the smaller power station. We have a couple smaller ones that work very well for us. It's nice that it has a longer cord. Hmm full sun, but only 50 something watts. Oh I see it went up to 60 something. 3 hours for 44% charge. Not too terrible. I've yet to see any solar panels that actually put out what they state. We have a foldable panel that pulls about 90 in the perfect conditions, but it's supposed to be (I think) 125 watt. Nice review of the solar panels.

Appreciate the comment, seems like most panels do about 50% as advertised. This one does a good job with keeping our fridge running.
