Frequently Asked Questions
Which portable power stations are best suited for camping in Canada?
expand_more
When camping, we look for something lightweight, quiet, and that recharges quickly in the sun.
Here are our favorites:
- EcoFlow RIVER 3 / RIVER 3 Plus: Very small, easy to carry, perfect for a weekend or solo trip. They charge super fast and easily power lights, coolers, phones, or small coffee makers.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus : For those who are going away for several days or have more equipment (fridge, tools, etc.). They are powerful, durable, and recharge very quickly.
- Bluetti AC50P: Ultra-lightweight and affordable, ideal for minimalist camping or hiking with a few electronic devices.
- Bluetti AC180P: An excellent weight/power compromise for camping with a partner or small group.
Compare the best power stations for VR/RV use
expand_more
For an RV or trailer, you want a battery that can directly connect to the 30A system, last for several days, and recharge quickly in the sun. Here are the most recommended:
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max / DELTA 2 Max: Very fast to recharge, powerful, compact. Ideal if you want to do everything quickly and easily.
- Bluetti AC180P: Good weight/power compromise, lots of outlets, perfect for an average RV or camper van.
- Bluetti AC200PL → The number one choice for most RVs
This is the one we most often recommend to RV owners.
Why?
It has a real 30A RV (TT-30R) outlet: you can plug your RV shore power cable directly into it, without an adapter or any workarounds. It powers your refrigerator, lights, water pump, microwave, fan, and sometimes even a small air conditioner. Very powerful solar charging (up to 1200W): perfect for boondocking for several days. >Additional batteries can be added to increase capacity to 8 kWh if needed.
Very robust and reliable over the long term.
If you have an RV and want a hassle-free plug-and-play solution, the AC200PL is almost always the best choice.

- Bluetti AC180P or AC200PL: excellent for powering refrigerators, lights, modems, space heaters, or sump pumps
- No. 1 for home backup: Bluetti Apex 300 Solar Generator
Pro tip: Choose a capacity of at least 1400–2000 Wh if you want to go several hours/days without electricity. And add one or two foldable solar panels to be truly self-sufficient.
Which battery should you choose for an off-grid cabin?
expand_more
For an off-grid cabin, we are looking for a reliable, expandable solution capable of powering a refrigerator, lights, water pump, tools, space heater, and even small appliances.
The Apex 300 solar generator kit is our number one recommendation for most Quebec cabins:
- Why this kit?
Very high power and capacity (3840W / 5.5 kWh base)
Integrated massive solar charging (multiple panels in series/parallel)
Easily expandable: batteries can be added to reach 10–20 kWh
Stable and powerful output: refrigerator + freezer + heater + lights + tools at the same time
Very quiet and zero maintenance (unlike a gas generator)
Perfect for long winters: recharges during the day, autonomy for several days even in cloudy weather
It's the “set & forget” solution for a comfortable cottage all year round, without depending on the Hydro-Québec grid or a noisy generator. It is often sold as a complete bundle (station + panels + cables + roof/wall mounting) for quick and easy installation.
