Is this the best Power Station for Camper Vans? The Anker SOLIX C1000

Can you bypass the overload protection?

Great! How about buying it in The Netherlands??

so can it be used to power the whole van ,eg diesel heater?🤔

Very expensive but albeit a good tool

Very helpful review. When charging from your 12v whilst driving, does the socket get hot?

Great Video. Would be ideal for camping trips. Appreciate the honest review.

river2pro is the same I love it

Hi mate! You inspired me with your previous vid to go for a power unit basis for my van (which is a vivaro, ironically!). Have it all fitted and it is working mint, only think it maybe lacks is the grunt to run a heater. Can run Solar into it to recharge and have a simple setup to recharge from the rear 12v car port. Yea it does take a while to charge, but also got a. 240v electric hook up going in so I can charge it from mains on a camp site. It’s different for everyone but for me, this idea was perfect ! Cheers mate !

Is this an advert?

My Nefew bought one and the only disappointment is charging time from your van is too slow

I watched a lot and went for the eco flow it's so much better

Nice demo Shawn, thanks, Love Tuesdays 😀

Mr. Shown 😉 it's not right and You know it.
And You know it what is right!😠

Did you in your uselessnesss or any of Our problems in Cornwall sorted it?
I'm surely don't.
Commercial is good 😉 How much? Can we clean the beach for 1k£ 😉
Look at Yourself and then love Sundays.

A let is the best you need solar panels

Hi Shaun. Slow cooker drawing 91 Watts ..how many hours would it run for ?

Id have thought for vale tines it would be £699.69 😂

anyway, hindsight now you have built the van would you have used this instead of all the electrics? Do you think i was a waste of time and ££ now that you have tested this out?

Very interesting my brother has that power station

You can get an 800w air fryer. Useful video thanks😊

I used my air fryer for 20 mins at 200° and it used 45% of battery.

Nice Shaun. If I was going to convert a van I probably wouldn’t bother with all the electrics I’d just get one off those. 😊

What is the life span of these if you keep them just for emergencies?

So you only have 1Kwh of capacity but I bet it allows through charging so you can charge and draw from it, thus your lamb stew put it on as you leave your house and plug in to 12V socket - I think they are 8 or 10w and so the battery pack lasts longer as you are driving and your stew cooks while getting to your spot then you can have your tea and chips before the battery goes flat. Also if you have to fly it has to go as hand luggage and not packed luggage, I use mine for a remote island where I don't have mains power there it is worth buying the carry bag as they tend to be fireproof as well. Don't run a heater or AC from it it will only last an hour if you are lucky.

At 1300 pounds at a time it would need to be capable of doing everything.

I have a Bluetti and have never been more disappointed in a backup battery

I prefer my Jackery 1000 myself.

what length of time do these various kitchen gizmos stay working for , thats the important thing, a good slow cooker needs at least 2 hours to cook from start ,5 minutes wont do it

I used to rent a lock up garage in a block with no electricity. If stuff like this was available back then it would have been a garage-life-changer! Instead some of us struggled on with car batteries, jump starters and rectifiers with about 100 watts to play with, to power a light bulb and a radio and took a thermos.

Can you recommend a cheaper solar panel to go with this please Shawn? £450 for the 200W is a bit much. Would any panels work with this?

Out of interest how long does the kettle take to boil?

If you have a power station..can I ask why you also fitted out your transit with all that electrical stuff?
I'm hoping to start a van build soon so looking at a power station for simplicity reasons.

OK , so you have used many of these types of powerstations. how do you compare this make against the Ecoflow' of the sme spec ?

That was a terrific review, no holds barred to please the manufacturer and just what a person requires before lashing out. Thank you for sharing.

In your video from 22nd Oct, camping with the family you were using a Solix device very similar to this one. You had issues in the morning with Solix making a really loud clicking sound which you described as a bit of a pain. Seems to be caused by the solar being plugged in but the 'sun not being up yet' and so the Solix cannot detect the solar input properly on a morning. Would the Solix C1000 have the same issue? I am interested in the power station but this would obviously be a deal breaker for sleeping in a camper van for those wanting to use it with a solar panel. Cheers

Would like to know how long the air fryer runtime was could u roast a beef joint for 3 hours on it?

If yiur not doing out with your big eclflow... I will have it 😂

You know there are very few food entrées that I can't do using a good Electric Skillet W/Lid. HAVE YOU TESTED IT USING AN ELECTRIC SKILLET? That would be my measurement for wanting one for my Van. In my Class A Motorcoach I have a full-on kitchen but I opt to use my Electric Skillet or my Toaster Oven except for occasional Holiday/Seasonal Cooking when more people are being served. I really liked this demonstration How is it for cooking and running a small 12V Refrigerator? Have tried it doing that yet? I'm thinking for an Overnight or two day trip in the Van. No solar system, just home recharging or find a car shop place to recharge it if need be. I'd value your input please. Great Video.

The average kitchen has such high wattage kettles etc, that's the issue that most folk have no idea about. I have low wattage items in my camper, sure they take longer to boil etc but that's how life was meant to be.

Can you charge the unit with solar while using it to power your electrics at the same time? Cheers

nowhere near enough capacity to be seriously useful. imho.

It might help to say that 1000 wh are equal to 8.33 amp hours. This way people can understand that say of their electric item draws 1000 watts, your device can run for just over an hour, it it draws 2 amps, you should be able to run 4 hours,

I have the Anker 767 (2300 Watts) and it's brilliant. To be fair I always stay on sites with hook up, but my van is all electric..... induction hob, 240 volt AND 12 volt microwaves, tv etc. But for out and about daytime use it's fantastic. I can cook or make a drink at anytime, watch tv or my girlfriend can use her hair dryer if needed. It's best charged when I'm on hook up, but it will charge from my solar panel or from cig socket, so it's win win for my needs.

Found you by accident it’s a great video thank you for sharing hello’s from Ireland 🇮🇪

Could this be used instead of an inverter/leisure battery system ? I’m starting a van build and I’m so confused 😐

Just found your channel love it great videos keep it up 👍👍

Just ordered mine. Cheers. £649 on todays deal 🙌

The wife wants to know where your travel kettle is from?

They have the 1000 with 200w Panel for £938 is it worth it?

Brilliant review....thanks a lot 😊

Could you have a solar panel on the roof and connect into this? Only see portable panels being sold with these 😊
