In a Reddit thread on r/RVLiving, a shopper asked for the highest-capacity portable power station they could trust for around $1,500 to use as a backup inside an RV. Commenters recommended brands like Bluetti, Jackery, Anker, and EcoFlow, while noting that lithium batteries degrade even when unused, especially if stored at zero charge. Examples included a Jackery 1000 running fans for over 24 hours after a hurricane and an Anker Solix C2000 handling short bursts from major appliances and lasting about two days under lighter use. Advice centered on sizing systems based on actual power needs and considering separate battery-and-inverter setups as an alternative to all-in-one units.
