8 Must-Have Low Wattage Appliances for Van Life | Living In A Van

Welcome to the channel! Getting started with #vanlife takes planning and lots of moving and different parts. Watch as I go through the steps to getting my van completed for living with all the things I need to be comfortable.
In this video we go over the many small appliances that I use in my van life journeys. They are great for small spaces and to use with power stations over 700 watts.

Dash Mini Waffle Maker is 350 watts and the DASH griddle is 760 watts. The other items are in the description below. 😊

I have seen many great high production camping videos in the past 5 years. What I loved about your video is the simple, honest, and genuine reviews. Keep making your simple but knowledgeable videos! Thank you for time and effort spent on these video 🙏

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@seekerstan]

I've been living in my van for 15 years. A tea kettle, sause pan, cast iron skillet, french press coffee maker, and imeresion blender are all I've ever needed. I have a gas stove.

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Only a few less than I have, lol! 😄😁

[@TrishBenedict]

I have an electric hot pot and air fryer that are different brands, functionally equivalent. I have a set for my house and a set for my van camper. And I have several of the other appliances like the Dash 8" griddle (also red!) and the mini waffler. But the dash appliance that I get the most use of is their little 1 cup rice cooker. At home I use it for rice (and I've given up using my stupid Instant Pot) and in the van I mostly use it for making steel cut oatmeal in the morning. But my favorite mini Dash appliance is the little baby Bundt cake maker. I buy a package of spice cake - my favorite - and divide it into thirds because the package calls for adding three eggs - so I divide the dry cake mix into thirds, bag two portions for later use, and add one egg to one portion of the mix. I might toss in some softened raisins. And you can get ~3 little Bundt cakes out of that 1/3 portion of the dry mix. Instead of frosting, I just put some sugar in a bowl and pick up the warm Bundt cake and roll the top of it around in the sugar. Easy peasy!

[@MeenasHappyLife]

That's a great idea for the baby bunt cakes! I make vegan mug cakes for my Granddaughters. I'll have to make them some cake pops with my newest gadget. Thanks for your great comment!

[@frostyfrances4700]

If I'm not being too butinsky here .... At 79 I don't drive OR camp anymore. But I have been gathering a modest grid-down collection of items. I'd suggest that anyone in a similar situation might consider getting just the kettle and lunchbox if $'s much of an issue. You can do almost anything you really need to do for a few weeks with just those 2. Plus if you're able to have a solar generator of some sort and maybe a few extra batteries, these minis wouldn't drain your power so fast. Some people stuck in rentals might not be allowed (??) to use solar stuff since there's a lot of misinformation out there. Personally I prefer several copies of the same model since then if say the battery for one conks out, you can still use it with another one's battery. And if you go for models 1 or 2 gens back, you can often find them on excellent sales. The EcoFlow River series are big enough to power a medium full-size frig for awhile or a window AC under 6 BTU. They can be charged via solar or wall outlet or DC. After just a very few years I now have 5 generators and 4 extra batteries, all interchangeable. I figure even if I never do have to endure an extended grid down, the executor of my mini-estate will inherit some good camping gear. Luckily I'm not city-bound and don't need to camp to 'get away from it all' since that's where I live, in remote TinyTown, central Midwest where 3 times in 21 years I've been asked wth is Bob Dylan? :)

[@MeenasHappyLife]

I'm heading in that direction. I'm looking to get another power station with more Wattage. And I'm always on the lookout for new mini appliances.

[@frostyfrances4700]

@@MeenasHappyLife - Good for you. Of course we always want to be as comfortable as a sane wallet allows; just remember, a lunchbox and kettle are enough if that's all you can do. I have a coffee press that I may never use, simply bc you never heard of anyone as mean and nasty as I can get if I'm expected to do w/o coffee. An electric percolator pulls too much wattage for grid down though. ........................... As for 'moving in that direction', did you mean relocating entirely? If so, beware. These TinyTowns can be backward and vicious. Normally I don't stray into politics on a lifestyle page, but I owe you that reminder, even though you probably don't need reminding. But I've been here long enough to see several people come in search of Mayberry and they all wind up running away as fast as they can when they get a taste of the real thing. Most xenophic, racist hypocrites I ever met in a long lifetime of roaming the world. .....................Wouldn't matter either if somebody was the Mother of God, at best newcomers get treated savagely and will never be treated halfway decently by the vast majority of the christo-fascist oinkers. I had the local klan outside my front gate shortly after moving here. Due to unusual background and training, I knew how to put the fear of God into them, but it isn't for everybody and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. ................... Somehow I did manage to make a very few friends, but most of these people I wouldn't get in a car with EVER for ANY reason. I don't regret moving here since this is the only kind of place I could own property on a little land and create my own paradise and animal park. But even so I couldn't survive here emotionally w/o the internet. And believe me, I'm staying out of sight mostly for at least a week after next Tuesday's election. So please forgive me if I've strayed a little too far into the weeds on this matter.

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Heading in that direction, meaning, I want to have more power in my van. More Wattage for my power station. I have my eye on a 1200w but just have to save up for it.

[@frostyfrances4700]

Hi, Meena. Kinda funny, I'd never even heard of Dash until I came across your videos. As I might've mentioned elsewhere (?), I retired to a remote tiny town and no longer drive - so I can't exactly go shopping irl very much. But for Thanksgiving week, some friends took a long drive to get me and today we went to a veterans' thrift store where I found several Dash minis. I can't camp anymore, but these minis are perfect for my solar generator I keep for grid down. They hardly pull any juice at all . And I even got a mini slow cooker for $6. For the sake of veterans' charities as well as your own pocketbook, I urge people to shop at these stores even b4 Walmart etc. My beloved cornbread will be extra delicious done on a waffle maker!

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Thanks so much for the suggestion!

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Thank you so much for subscribing! As for a power station. I recommend getting the most watts that you can to start with. I wish I could have afforded more when I started out. But now I have a new one. See here 👉🏽 on my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nRoIOlYpx6ba8si=q9wCv2QbLbMO2Uwm I also have a code to save more on it in the description box of the video.

[@angelatbluehairedsudios8106]

I enjoy cooking coming from a chef background. I also mostly use a butane stove and pot/pan. Gets boring! I have the power so if you got the power the world of culinary can be added to Van life. More one pot fill in the blank

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Yes, this is true

[@robinwilson8435]

You can substitute 1 T ground flaxseed mixed with 3 T water for one egg (mix and let sit until it thickens) and substitute 1:1 applesauce for oil. You can also sub ground chia seeds for an egg, same ratio as flax:water. I like making a chia seed pudding using almond milk and whole chia seeds, great calcium source. Add a little vanilla if you like, maple syrup for sweetness. Your granddaughters will like it.

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Yes.

[@bessycorrales2259]

Thanks for sharing. Since this is about low wattage appliances, it would be helpful to share the wattage of each appliance. My Bluetti accomodates upto 600W, so I'm always on the hunt for appliances under 600W. Recently scored a 300W one cup coffee pot at the thrift store for $8. I was thrilled to find.

[@MeenasHappyLife]

I mentioned the Wattage where I could. I also listed All the items so you could check for yourself in case you wanted to purchase. I recently found some items from MyMini sold at Walmart. I have the toaster which is 500 watts and they have an electric noodle cooker and skillet that is only 260 watts. You might want to check that out. Thanks for watching!

Love several of the appliances. As far as the dash products I am not a big fan. I have several of the my mini products like the toaster oven,the electric skillet,the sandwich maker and a few others. I plan on adding their mini deep fryer and the urban skillet that comes with a small frying pan and small hotplate. Most of not all run me less than 20 dollars each. I will definitely be buying some of the items you shared so thanks again for sharing.

I started to get the mini deep fryer, but my hot pot will fry things. They (Dash) have so much to choose from .

[@davidbailey3289]

@MeenasHappyLife Its a personal preference for me. The one I forgot to mention I have off the my mini is the egg cooker. Love that thing.

Thank You Ms. Meena just got my van and I'm researching what I'm gonna get for cooking....actually I'm planning out my whole build.....I like multi purpose things so you totally sold me on the electric noodle pot, the hot air fryer and the 8" electric round griddle and thinking about the 2 in 1 portable blender.....once again thank you for posting it was very helpful I've subscribed to your channel.....Blessings

Great video. I have that same electric lunchbox, but at only 60watts, it takes longer than i prefer to heat stuff up, although it does work. I found an 80watt one that is perfect. Much faster. I love having multiple options.

[@MeenasHappyLife]

Cool! The one I have is 80 watts also. I couldn't remember, but I looked at my order history on Temu. But I find that it takes about an hour for a frozen dinner. I will try something else and see how long it takes. Maybe soup or something like that.

[@karinhart489]

I have been using a 12v HotLogic Mini to slow cook food while driving & 12v kettle to heat up to 1 liter of water that I have been using for over 5 years. And a couple years ago Dash mini griddle the size of that waffle maker you showed (uses less power than the bigger griddle you showed… but mine is right size for me & the little one seems to be on sale at Target regularly.

Love the video. But do you perhaps know of a similar item that has a stainless steel interior - or even aluminum? I don't use teflon-type appliances bc my uncle worked for Monsanto when those first came out decades ago, and he swore up and down then that the stuff gets in your body and stays there.

[@frostyfrances4700]

Meena, if my early morning correction didn't wipe out the thumb-down reaction that got accidentally entered last night, please understand that I'm dyslexic as a goose with less than optimal eyesight to begin with. It also makes me prone to typos when I'm sitting in a too-low chair at somebody else's too-high table. The world isn't basically built for those of us who stand on tippy toes to reach 5'. But I've re-entered the thumb-up as intended now. If you want a little giggle though, one time I really meant to brag on my besty from high school (we're both 79 now) and what did I put out for all the world to see? "Carolyn's the greatest FIEND of all time!" Luckily she knows me well enough, so next I heard from her was "Here's that lower case 'r' you're missing." So now that's one of those inside jokes between us.

Love the sound of the Keto waffle!

[@MeenasHappyLife]

They are really good! Here is a recipe I found. ** 2 eggs 4 tbsp butter melted ¼ cup water 1 tsp vanilla extract ¾ cup almond meal/flour ½ tbsp granulated sweetener of choice 1 tsp baking powder

[@MeenasHappyLife]

And I meant to say Almond flour, not coconut flour. And I use Almond milk instead of water

I have rice cooker. A pot of boiling water, add butter and seasoning. Boil. Add rice. Bring to a boil. Cover and remove from heat. Same pot heats soup. Boils water for noodles. Lol Why so many Gadgets to store?

[@MeenasHappyLife]

😅🤣😊 Cause I love gadgets! I find them useful.

[@rebeccalankford9810]

@@MeenasHappyLife I do not like clutter. I like to keep it simple. Each to their own. 😉 enjoy

[@emmyjoyful1]

I agree. I do all those things over a small fire with my mini cast iron frying pan, when the weather is good for outside cooking, other wise, I do all those things in my rice/noodle cooker and my EcoFlow River 2 is enough power. Gadgets can be fun but when space is at a premium in the van or car when camping, one the rice cooker is enough. I don't do smoothing but if I did, I guess the blender-juicer wold be useful

[@MeenasHappyLife]

@emmyjoyful1 The blender is nice for juicing, if you run out of milk, make oat milk, protein shakes, slushies with juice and ice from local drive thru.

[@emmyjoyful1]

@@MeenasHappyLife each their own. I keep my menu simpler than that, and stay on top of supplies I need. I recently was on a 25 day road trip. Used my rice cooker and small fire stove, no restaurant meals/food. No other appliances. But ... I have 60 years of pre-mini appliance experience and know how to survive on very little. Have fun.Thanks for educating me on all the things I don't need!!! lol.

What your t-shirt saying about Colombia 🇨🇴?

[@MeenasHappyLife]

It says' It's Colombia, Not Columbia". I got it when I went to Medellín Colombia.

[@frostyfrances4700]

@@MeenasHappyLife - I was wondering too. I suppose North America spells the word with a 'u' bc of Columbus. Do you have to fight with auto-correct over the proper way to spell the country?
