Best little add on to buy for eco flow is some usb-a to usb-c adaptors so you can basically change as many of the usb-a output sockets to usb-c as you need.
Thanks for sharing, guys! Excited to see where you and the DELTA 2 go on your next adventure!
A major plus for me is the fact that, if you have a reasonably large garden, which I do, then being able to run stuff anywhere for, say, a barbecue, lights, music etc is great - quite apart from the off-grid value when camping. Great review Sarah and Will. Thanks.
We recently upgraded from Bluetti eb70 to jackery 1500 pro. 16 kg 1.8kw with 3.2 kw surge but easily runs, most importantly, my nespresso machine. It has a fold down handle now so easier to pack and can even be used as a small table. Wouldn't be without it in our Cali.
Brilliant idea, guys! Thanks for the sensational video. 😊
Looks useful for extended off grid.
Had researched prior to buying the van particularly for solar panel use. It could fit easily with Carl's roof mounted panels.
Good to see the ins and outs for campervan use.
This week, I are mostly purchasing the Delta 2! 😀Thanks for the review Will, and Sarah. Just so happened I have recently purchased a Hillside camper and was looking to add an item such as this. I purchased the cover and a couple of cables to hook up Solar, at a later date. Great series of videos.... been extremely helpful! (and costly 😂)
Sorry... we get that a lot!
Answered all the questions I have on EcoFlow, thank you!!
Great to hear!
we got the eco flow river 2 pro and the 220w bi-facial solar panel and they are great for off grid, like you we plug in the vans EHU but also use it outside to plug in our air fryer and other electrics when the weather is good so we dont get all the cooking smells in the van
I like the look of this if not the price! I have just fitted 200w of solar panels to my California so could charge this off the Load connector and then have 240v off grid for high consumption appliances. Kev on Tour has managed to squeeze the Delta Mini into the bottom of the wardrobe 😃😎
Great information. 👍
Hi, I have the Delta, and bought the folding solar panels 220W, so when the sun is out, I place the solar out, got the extra extension solar cable, and hey presto it charges, so from April until winter I can charge all my tech, inc camera batteries, for free.
In my car I have a 12 volt socket in the boot, so charge it whilst on a journey.
Hi Sarah & Will, I have the Delta MAX 2000 and love it. Yes, it is not the lightest and we don't use it on every trip. We use it for off grid meetups and longer trips, that would otherwise be wrecked if there was a hook up issue. Plus, and perhaps best of all, it enables us to be more flexible...go anywhere, stop anywhere and never be reliant on hook ups. Lastly, aside from testing the super fast charging indoors on mains, I typically rob the leisure battery's power to charge the Ecoflow (via 12V) and then recharge the leisure via our 200W solar or driving, of course. So, yes, many uses and probably useful for most campers or outdoor matters, as you suggested.👍
Hi Jez. Can you tell me if it fits between the front seats for you guys. Thanks 🙏🏼
@punk punk - Well, yes, the Delta Max 2000 fits snug in between both seats.
Hello,
I long does it takes to charge via the 12v socket? The solution you’ve pointed out, it seems the ideal solution.
Thanks,
Pedro
@Pedro Dinis not sure whether it is 6A or 8A, but on the driveway, from the Leisure battery, it will take a good day. Not the quickest and I would recommend using the cab 12V socket, while driving to and in between destinations. Either way, better than using fossil fuel generated and expensive mains energy. The leisure battery then takes several days to charge via our roof solar, or very quickly while driving.👍
Thank you very much for your attention @@SwamperJez.
I bought an Ecoflow River Pro & a stand alone solar panel for it last year. It's great! I don't always take it with me - it depends on the trip, and what I'll be doing while away, but it's been very handy. It charges my ebike battery, camera & lighting gear, and runs my induction hob. I also used it on a chilly evening in February to run a small quiet fan heater when sleeping at the roadside (a plan B situation!) when I didn't want to run my diesel heater which is quite loud on startup.
It has a very plain case, which looks like a cool bag. I like plain bags for expensive equipment. I don't like advertising what I'm carrying when I'm on the road!
It's a good bit of kit and was worth the investment. With solar on the van it has transformed by power capacity/options.
Great to hear solar is useful for it. We really must try and get some panels for this.
Hello couple ,fairly good reiew , we would have loved to see how it performs when boiling that travel kettle,perhaps on an iron and a rice cooker to see if it can handle real life tasks
Hi
I was looking to get an Ecoflow. Jackery or Bluetti and was then lucky enough to win a 1000Wh Jackery with 200w solar panels. Because of that we didn’t bother having a solar panel fitted to the van as we could use the Jackery with the panels as the hookup. There are some offers on Ecoflow and Anker power stations at Costco right now with the Ecoflow delta 1260Wh station for £730. The 160W solar panel is £258. Those are online order prices.
love when couples do reviews
Great video. Liked and subscribed!
Last week I was able to pick up a Delta 2 and a 220 watt bifacial solar panel from Amazon for $1,200 American after a $450 coupon. I couldn’t pass it up.
Wow that is a great deal!!
I got mine for 999 USD with the 220W bifacial panel.
Great information. Thanks 🙌🏼. I was thinking of going for the delta max. Do you know if it fits between the seats? The dimensions from the spec look like it may be a tight squeeze.
Unfortunately I don't as we haven't tried it. That said we have seen a delta max and although bigger it's not massive.
A delta 2 max would have been twice as useful. It weighs just 5 kg more and is very slightly larger. Still perfect for car camping; not even a van, mind you.
We did look at the 2 max but wanted something physically smaller for where we wanted to keep it in our California. Good to have options though.
Great review, can it be configured to charge off the GC600 solar panel?
Basically yes but it would require a bit of wiring to do so, obviously. The GC600 has a Votronic MPPT if you have the factory solar system, which you would just need to redirect the solar panel input wires into the orange plug on the back of the Ecoflow - as the ecoflow has a built in MPPT that will convert the solar panel output into charge for the battery.
Hi Sarah and Will great video again. We've recently ordered a westfalia sven hedin special edition, does this then not have an inverter?
That's right - no inverter on the Sven from the factory but quite a few people do fit them afterwards under the floor in front of the bench seat.
@@CampervanTime ok thanks good to know
Hi just wondering if I am right in thinking that when you're driving the leisure batteries in the California are being charged???
Yes that's right, they charge from the alternator as the engine is running
Great vid yet again, Will and Sarah, but I have to pull you up on a very important issue.... DANDELIONS?
🤣 yes yes, I know. Too busy...
@@CampervanTime I know, I know. You do very well, it really looks a lovely place!
My rabbit likes me to grow them!
Been thinking of buying for a while & this might just get me to pudh the button. Does it fit in amy of the Ocean cupboards?
Haven't specifically tried it but it would easily go in the wardrobe if nowhere else.
So is the Sven battery the same as the Grand?
Yes and no - the main leisure battery on the Sven is the same, under the bonnet, 92ah. The Sven has a factory option for a second leisure battery though, which is under one of the front seats (drivers I think), which adds another 70ah. A second leisure battery isn't an option on the Grand from the factory.
Brilliant video, I have just bought a Delta2 for my campervan and being able to plug it into the hookup on the van is great. Have you devised a way of using the 12v output from the Delta2 and connecting to the campers 12v system? This is something I am looking at doing as I mainly use the 12v devices in my van and going from 12v on the Delta to 240v then back down to 12v will drain the Delta much more quickly. If I can find a way of daisychaining this into the campervans 12v system then it will last much longer.
Not yet but we're working on it!
@@CampervanTime If you find a way of connecting it to the vans 12v please post a video. I think I am going to connect mine via the cig plug on the back of the Delta2 and wire an XT60 connector into the van and connect using the 12V charge lead.
How weatherproof is it to use outside ?
EcoFlow sell a rain proof bag/case for the Delta 2 with prop open flaps to allow it to be used in most weather
£899.00 summer sale now on. £200 off
We’ve been deliberating for ages as to whether to buy the River 2 Pro & solar panels and have been waiting for a valid discount code for ages. Unfortunately, yours isn’t site wide 😔 which is a real shame. Great vid though 😊
Oh - worth emailing them about that because I checked with them before I made the video if it was just for the Delta range or across the board and they assured me it was across the board. Or drop me a line and I'll link you in to them there - contact@campervantime.co.uk
Thank you! Daft question… is that your email address?
yes - contact@campervantime.co.uk
I did email you. Did you receive it?
@@hallaboard8154 Hello! We haven't had anything from you I'm afraid. If you find us on Facebook or instagram you can message us through there instead, maybe that will work!
The short answer is NO. Delta 2 Max is better, but still require tinkering to charge from the car.
Love the idea of the ecoflow and the app is awesome !! Just a comment or two. ….. the sound from your new microphones is a bit average for me compared to the other ones you were using. Also a bit sad that your leaving the California community. I probably will not bother with your videos after that. Sorry.
I think we all know you'd be better off with lifepo4 batteries rather than these. just something else to pack. And I'm sorry, this can't be an impartial review when you're set to make money off each one sold.
I can assure you it's impartial as we bought it with our own money and we approached Power 2 Go to see if they could give our viewers a discount. The problem with lifepo4 batteries is all of the extra kit you have to buy/change. Yes it is a better solution for that one purpose (ie the van), but when you have to buy an inverter, new charger etc that makes that option a LOT more expensive than this, and then you have to house all of that in the van somewhere appropriate too.
This unit has lifepro4 batteries inside. Easy to take out when you decide to sell the van
You should delete the video. Never use a power station as a substitute for landpower - so never plug it into the outside socket of your camper. This can be fatal. Please inform yourself, as the technical explanation would be too extensive at this point.
What is the technical explanation ?
It would be useful to give a link to the technical paper, which supports your statement
Can you explain?
@@rickyard11 Yes - please explain.
Sorry Simon - my comment was for Ma Ju. I would think that if it threatened life and limb, a technical explanation should not be "too extensive at this point".
Complete waste of money better off with an generator and cheaper
You're going to use a fossil fuel generator in the van or camping? 🫣
How would you power your fossil fuel generator if you had no access to fuel? How well can you sleep with a gas or diesel generator running close to you? Can you safely run your gas or diesel generator inside next to you?
@@bodazaphfa you dont leave the generator running all night do you have some common sense generator far better far cheaper and it does not need charging up
@@andrewthornhill4229 oh, but I can leave mine running all night, right next to me or I can have it automatically shut off. I don’t need storage space for fuel and can fit it all easily and neatly in my car. I don’t have to mess with engine maintenance either, which is great. I’ll go 10-years and not have to worry about any of that.
In California, gas generators, blowers, and all garden tools are going to be banned soon.
