- I tested out ways to stay warm when winter roof top tent camping. I used a 12V heated blanket that's about the size of a throw blanket and made for cars with a 12V car plug. The Jackery Lasted 13 hours and the Goal Zero lasted about 6 hours. I have no idea why Jackery did so much better.

Nothing better than a video that goes straight to the point. Thank you so much you made my purchase so much easier man.
I've watched so many videos I'm overloaded 🤯 all I needed was this video from the beginning 😪
Thank you for this!!!!
Thanks for this video. Exactly the test I was looking for. Also really enjoyed the short family camping part at the end. Looks like a beautiful location in winter.
Was great! Thanks!
Holy moly!! straight to the point! Exatcly what I had in my cart 12v blanket with the 240 jackery. Thank you!!!!!!!
Did you make this purchase, and are you satisfied with it?
@@donaldpope2155 No I did not. Camped in my car through the summer. I don’t think I’ll be buying this set for this year’s cold season since I’m not winter camping.
This is exactly what i was looking for !!!!
Good to know. Thank you for your video.
Thank you!
Thanks! This is the solution to heat for camping. Running heaters is wasteful and too energy demanding.
Tango Mike… what I was looking for.
💪
Where did you get this INCREDIBLE BLANKET?? cus I already got my jackeries ! Let's see what we can do !!! I'm here for it ! Thank you bunches I do van life going on 3 years now and I'm anemic so I stays ❄️🥶🥶🥶 cold ..this helped me so MUCH.
The content is engaging
What blanket is that? Great vid!
the internet never fails me i always find my answer
I need to get myself a 12v heated blanket 🙏🏼
Its a bit of a game changer! Thanks for the view!
I have a Rockpals 300 and I am connecting my Firstgear electric motorcycle jacket to it .. this is not a option for most as the electric gear is expensive .. but I have it so why not use it! The coat is waterproof and warm by itself .. the arms, torso and collar are all heated and the coat is pretty form fitting .. which is what you want as it transfers the most heat that way. And at night when it's cold out I switch on the coat till warm .. run outside and pee and back into the car and plug back in .. that's when I get the coldest! 🤠
Great video. Would you recommend a heated blanket over the heater in the Escapod? How do you feel about the tradeoff of drawer space in the galley for the heater.
You could easily save quite a bit by eliminating the heater and using a heated blanket which could run on the battery bank/solar setup. In hindsight, the drawer space is super handy to have more, but depending on climate, the heater may be a bigger deal. If i lived in Alaska, id keep the heater lol
@@offgridexploring I’d get the heater if I lived in Alaska. I live in California and the weather is good most of the year. I assume we would only need to use heat when we travel to colder regions.
I live in Alaska. I still like camping in the tent even in winter. I’m young, I can handle it. This power station with the blanket is what I need. Little extra heat in my bag will make a world of difference
Does the heated blanket warm up the air inside the escapod? Smart to run the blanket off a dedicated power source so you don’t wake up to no lights.
Sorry what brand is the blanket/where to purchase? Thx great vid
Wanted to know how the jackery 240 did with 12v blankets and happened apon this video with the same blanket I chose. Happy to see real world results on this combo
Nice Review, Is that Rampart rd. area?
I bought a Sunbeam Heated blanket and when I plug it into my inverter is just blinking , I don't know why , how does it know that is NOT a house power outlet ?
Nice vid! i love when people actually time down the tests. What brand name are your heated blankets?
These were some cheap ones available on Walmart and amazon, here is the link: amzn.to/3rgBzQa
What blankets? And which one do you prefer
What is the blanket you are using and where did you purchase?
whats the brand of the blanket
Can you link where you got the 12V heated blanket? Do you know the ampage of the blanket?
Walmart. Automotive section. Not all Walmarts have it though.
I just bought this same blanket and Jackery 240 based on this video. I don’t know how you got it to last so long but mine was dead after 5 hours. I should have done the math before a bought 240 watts/ 48watt per hour is 5 hours. How did you get yours to last so long? I’m a little disappointed as I was hoping to have an affordable heat option to last through the night.
Maybe don’t turn it so high. Leave it at lowest temperature. Also cover the blanket with a sleep bag or another cover so it retains the heat so the heated blanket doesn’t have to work as hard.
Yup. On low and in a sleeping bag. Still dead after 5 hours. I returned both products. Oh well.
Which blanket? That's a variable
i know its been a while but what brand is the blanket that was used for the jackery 250 vs goal zero.
it is from walmart approx $20
I too have the 240 + the exact same blanket / maybe a bad blanket (on Low), but from 100% it was at 23% in 3.5 hours. Brrrrrrr.
Yeah that is potentially the blanket. I just camped again Friday night in 5 degree weather with the same setup, lasted around 8 hours this time.
@@offgridexploring what blanket is this????
How many appliances can you plug into a 3500-watt generator?
I heard goal zero if left alone will drop 7% in battery percentage in a week I have both the jackery 300 and 1000 watt models and have no issues like that at all with the batteries in them
Mine is a 300 watt portable generator my electric blanket only stays on for 6 hours on high and it shuts off alot the blanket does not generator
The Jackery has 240 watts per hour so wouldn't it die in 5 hours with a constant 48 watt draw?
This is my question too. 240Wh / 48W = 5 hours. 48W x 12 hours= 576Wh
@@nt40lanman Maybe the jackery lasted longer because it dropped to 7watts at some point? I though Wh = W x H? Was the blanket on the jackery still warm at 7watts?
@@JohnDSmith I did do a test on a heated blanket a while back and saw that it will try to maintain a temperature by turning up and down so maybe that's it.
I just bought same blanket and Jackery 240. That calculation is right on. It last about 4.5-5 hours. Not near enough time to last all night. Not sure how he got his to last so long.
I bought a jackery 240 about 3 weeks ago and I've noticed something that I may just be overthinking about, and I'm trying to get other owners of the 240's opinion. I've noticed that when watching videos here on TH-cam that on some units, even like the 500 and 300 when you plug in charger to charge that the light is blue when charging and turns green when done. I've never saw a detailed video on the 240 to see if it acts the same when its done charging. Mine never turns green. It will charge up to 100% and the watts will taper down, slowly going to zero and the charger box even gets cold, from not pushing out anymore power, but the light never turns green, it always stays blue. The unit seems to function fine, and I even left it plugged up for like 12 hours just to make sure, but it never changes to green, it stays blue. Can anyone else who owns a 240 confirm if theirs stays blue or does turn green? Like I say, any other time I wouldn't think anything of it, but it's got me questioning why the 240 stays blue but the other units turn green when done
Mine does same as yours. Stays blue!
@@Curt100 thank you! Apparently there is a difference in the models and 240 just stays on. I wish they would have made it go out when done, but it's no big deal
What heat blanket are you having
If both blankets really pulled the same, the difference should be 30%, the Jackery has a 240amps battery and the GZ 200x ca. 185amps. Simple to calculate.
You are clearly better at math than me, anything with electricity and I get dumb real fast! Thanks for the help!
What make of blanket is that?
I bought a heated blanket but it said to not use it with a generator ? I wonder why ? Anyone know ?
I bought a Sunbeam Heated blanket and when I plug it into my inverter is just blinking , I don't know why , how does it know that is NOT a house power outlet ?
Dont buy that blanket terrible reviews they said it caught on fire lol!
