Quality power source
The Jackery HomePower 3000 Portable a power Station is incredible. I could list all the things you can run but you can read that in the description. I did my homework and it’s the best set up for the price. I did get it on sale and with a coupon!Talk about heavy, I suggest investing in a wheel kit. The battery is very heavy yet not really large so is not awkward to carry short distances.I can’t speak for longevity because it’s according to what you are powering how long it will last.I can’t speak say that if you purchase a Jackery product you will be very happy with the durability and quality of their products.I purchased the 3000 model for dry camping and the unfortunate event that we should lose power at home.

Worth the money
I don’t regret buying this at all because now I get to see how much energy I’m really using and being that I have two solar watts at 200 W that I haven’t connected let me know that I’m only gonna need three more solar panels and an inverter up in my RV if you’re not sure how much electricity you use and you’re confused with the calculator you’re better off getting this. It lasts a long time but it’s just me by myself so I’ve come to realize that in total I use 1800 thousand watts and that’s me taking a shower running the heater running my fans running my TV running my Internet if you have a ring doorbell or one that ones runs off of Wi-Fi or cameras around your camper and you’re a full-time RV like me and you already have solar panels up top. This is good because when you’re home, you can run your TV until you have the right connections, but this is still a good backup plan and you don’t consume too much electricity because other two hours it’s already charged and that’s by cord as far as in solar panels the 200 solar panel I would have to buy another two and then I would have to buy the cord that’s like $60 a pot to be able to charge that generator completely under three hours because with the two solar panels that takes about 11 hours to charge at 400 W when connecting these together, make sure that you fully charge it always fully charge anything you get and then use it and then as far as connecting the solar panels, there’s two ends that come with this don’t try the second one cause you won’t see no solar charging try the first one on both of them and you’ll see it charge. It says it in the manual and I’m sure not a lot of people want to read that manual you just wanna plug and play but it works for me. It lets me know how much I use which makes it easier for me to purchase the rest of my solar panels for my RV and see where I’m at and see how I use it and then purchase another two solar panels for this, but you could definitely go off grid with this with the right amount of solar panels. I have a 25 foot travel trailer if you have something bigger and you want to run everything get the biggest one that there is of these things they really do work. I got this one because it was easy to hide in my compartment and you have to leave the ventilated and if you plan to run an extension cord to it, it has to be 14 awgExtension cord because the cord itself reads that is 14 awg and you don’t want to cause a fire but the good thing about it is you can simultaneously connect the solar panels and plug it into your house and it’ll charge faster probably charge underneath an hour if there’s a lot of sun if you want to do it that way I like it I really do like it. This size works perfect for me because I have a small travel trailer, but if you have a bigger one and a bigger family, I would suggest getting the bigger one. Mind you I shut this off during the day and you can control it and shut it off through the app itself. It’s 60 pounds in weight pretty easy to live when it came. I had to unboxed it right where I was at because I wasn’t gonna be able to carry that box if you plan to get this and you don’t like a lot of lifting get the set of wheels for it separate it’s only $100. I really don’t see the difference in getting the wheels for it because that one is expensive and they both do the same thing. It’s easier to get the parts separate and connect it. Just in my opinion, I know you cannot add an extra battery to it if you’re looking for that then this is not the one for youBecause you can’t extend the battery pack, there’s more for people that already have an existing solar on their roof I want to do an upgrade. This will definitely work well with your system because you can switch both of them back-and-forth. That way you make it last longer, but you could definitely go off grid with this with the things that I mentioned. Once I have everything at that point, I’m not going to need to charge. I’m going to be able to go completely off grid for days at a time once I have all the solar panels on my roof because then I can switch it and charge it being that I know that it pulls 1585 watts so once I’m close to draining one battery, I can switch it to my system and my RV and charge it from there but that’s it if I have an inverter which I’m going to get that’s why I’m just calculating right now that’s why I find it good for me

You must keep an eye on the the “Dot” to keep your panel point to full sun
This is great, not sure how long it takes to actually 100% power it up but it took me three days and once we reached 100% we powered up a TV, a lit up Christmas tree and a space heater , possibly running them for 3 hours each for two days before we got down to 20% it was great! Easy to set up and connect up. I live in central California. Usually there is always Sun.
