BLUETTI unveils new portable power stations for RVs

A record heatwave in France (average heat index 30°C, Paris above 40°C) makes life in motorhomes unbearable: without air conditioning, interiors reach 50°C. Owners reroute north or postpone trips.

On September 14, 2026, CAA-Quebec answered a question about safe auxiliary heating for a self-converted minivan. Portable heaters powered by single-use propane cylinders provide heat quickly but cannot remain on overnight due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Electric heaters are safer and provide constant, easily adjustable heat, but they are energy-intensive and require connection to an auxiliary battery or power supply to avoid draining the van's battery. A heated blanket is recommended as a complement.

BLUETTI has introduced a range of portable power stations designed for RV use and home backup. Models Elite 100 V2, Elite 200 V2, Elite 300, Apex 300, and Elite 400 offer power outputs from 1800W to 3840W and capacities up to 3.8 kWh. They support charging via solar panels, vehicle alternators, and EV charging stations. Some units include dedicated 12V RV outlets and can power air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.
