I Bought These Bluetti Power Stations on Amazon Great for Living in a Van

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Bob, this Bluetti is my dream. I will be 64 next month and my husband will be 60 this year... When he retires there is no way that we will be able to afford our mortgage. There is no way I will go back into an apartment. I worry about the future constantly and this thing would open up so many options. I think it is phenomenal and I desperately wish I had one. It would also be fantastic for all of our power outages instead of a ridiculously loud smelly generator. We have an old fifth wheel and this Bluetti would be an answer to prayers. I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for this video. 👍💖

It is coming at the right time for me also. Woman 68 and moving on property with a cabin. We are all in this together ❤ 👵🏽✌🏽🐕

[@LilyBean82]

I have the AC300 and I can say with confidence that buying one of these is like buying freedom from the system. The thing we can't cope with in modern times is no electricity. To be able to produce your own energy relatively responsibly and for less cash than a used car is powerful. You got this. We are being shown the way. I bet we both know that things aren't going to be the same very soon and that's scary because it's already kinda bad. That old fifth wheel and a Bluetti would open the world up to you. Even if there's no more gas you can park it and still have plenty of power. Sometimes Bluetti has sales and you can get up to $600 off. I got mine during a Christmas sale. Best of luck.

[@LilyBean82]

I have a Bluetti AC300 and one B300 battery. It is a beast! I live in a city but I am constructing a tiny house in the country. I bought it last year during a Christmas sale for $3,100. Going off grid is hard and it costs a bit to get established but my AC300 has worked flawlessly. We've been charging it at my apartment through the a/c wall outlet then taking it with us to the cabin. We run lights, fans, a/c on and off, charge phones and laptops, and charge power tools all on one charge for about 18 hours. We are about to install the solar panels this weekend so there's still more for us to discover with this powerhouse. I found 100w rigid mono panels for $99 from Renogy and they have performed well. I have 600w total and I draw in about 450w at a time with them. Not terrible and pretty cheap for solar. I think this is very budget friendly. I set my solar budget for $6k but only spent about $4k for everything. I can even charge the battery with my car's battery or a generator. You'll never be without power with this thing.

[@bus_bigbuford4989]

I'm so glad you did a review on this BLUETTI. I had decided to use this in my bus a while ago and this makes me even more confident in my decision! Thanks Bob!

[@nmr3352]

This is perfect for people like me who really don’t understand all of the various converters and regulators and moderators and other unknowable things that go into having solar power. Have a one system that doesn’t require being wired into a bunch of other things and that can directly be charged and power your electrical needs is worth saving up for. It is definitely what I would choose. Thank you so much, Bob!

@@1sthawkfeathers547 I lived in Jax and Orlando for a total of 8 years and never had AC. If Bob, a total giving human being, says they are good I'm with him. All depends on your needs I suppose. AC pulls a lot of juice. I watch Camper Van Kevin and at one point he installed a split AC unit. You'll need a lot of panels. I'd ask the manufacturer. Give them the amount of watts you'll be needing. Not sure but their tech dept should be able to recommend what you'll need. Where in Fla? Good luck.

I designed a solar power system for my off-grid cabin back in 2005. The unit you describe is so much better and cheaper than what I had to work with back then. I installed my system and it was hours and hours of work to calibrate and program it and thousands of dollars of parts. The Bluetti seems to be quite worth the money.

Yes! Thank you Bob and gang! I am the targeted viewer for this. I am not technical enough to put together a system but do have technical needs like the use of a laptop all day, watch TV, run a fridge/freezer. Even an ac when hot. I like the security if I'm traveling up north and if there is a week long storm I'm not stressing to get charhe and can relax and enjoy the rain. Thank you so very much for showing this option!

[@AdventureGearTV]

That system is HUGE! I still think I could fit the AC300 under my bed in my minivan camper. This could last for days with my minifridge. I get it that the AC300 is expensive, but it truly is a one and done power solution. Thanks for sharing this!

[@mytrueserenity5666]

This would likely work for me. I have a full-time remote job, so would need a sufficient system to run the electronics and store the extra power for less sunny days and those lovely emergencies in life. I'd prefer not to build a system myself. All the better if it is plug and play and portable. I'd love to see an example of this system connected to roof panels. I'm very glad you posted this video today. :-)

[@petern4651]

Last March I ordered a new van. From that point on I started to do all my research on what parts suited my needs. I got several bids from various companies. All bids were almost double the cost of this system. Once I decided on the Bluetti AC 300 for its simplicity and plug and play I was hooked. Since my initial purchase of one battery I have purchased another battery giving me over 6000 watt hours. I just picked up my van 2 weeks ago. I will keep you posted. Great review Bob

Also, like that it’s all together - not a million parts and pieces to purchase and connect.

[@Kecarter1]

Bob, I ordered the 5100pro bluetti when it was a kick starter campaign.....so wish I had waited. At 160lbs as a full unit of battery bank and inverter converter etc....it is to big to roll out for our camping in a tiny airstream. We should go with this system. This one is going to be our power back up for our home. The reason I bring it up is so that as people go to the bluetti site.....the 5100 is to heavy for our camping needs. And lord knows these all in one units are the easiest way to go. In 2014 we got a German poloroid unit all plug and play runs my husband's CPAP for 4 days and weighs about 30lbs. Love these type of units and the lithium ion phosphate chemistry is safe. Thanks for all you do to share with us all. Hope to see you down the road again one day.

[@susanw8471]

I purchased the EB 70 last year and added an Alpicool 35 fridge to my van. The EB 70 has worked consistently, and I've had zero issues except for learning where to bungee cord the panels to the van. It feels like (to me) the winds are more sustained with increased mph than they used to be. Regardless, the bungees worked well. A fridge is a game changer. Very happy with the Bluetti.

[@blairinhemet]

It's been fun to watch you learn and change--a few years ago I remember you NOT being so thrilled with ANY premade solar system--Bluettii has been a game changer for a lot of people--if I ever build out van I will design it around the Bluettii 200--it's all I would ever need and I'd cook about 90% microvave!

Hello how are you doing😊

[@tumbleweed1976]

My minivan power is DIY. 5 years no problems. Today I would buy an all-in-one after considering cost+time. But I do value the learning process 🎈

[@joebuck4496]

Up until this unit, and the EcoFlow Pro came out, the pace of progression was insane!! You were afraid to buy something because something better came out in 2 weeks lol. However now that craziness ended, and I like how they are getting some longer term use under their belt! “Latest and Greatest” is nice, but it’s also a risk to buy a brand new model that doesn’t have the test of time. The solar input capability of this AC300 is phenomenal!! I agree with you that 80 lbs is pretty much the cutoff before you need a second pair of hands, or a hoist of some kind. That’s why I wasn’t crazy about the 150 lb Bluetti EP500

[@borandell9915]

Yeah, you can add to this setup until you have a cabin ready system.

[@jeannemohan6579]

I honestly don't need a lot of power to get by, but I believe it is better to have too much rather than not enough. Having more than you need comes in handy when you have a lot of cloudy/rainy days and can not charge up what you have for what you need.

[@miamisammy4020]

You're right bob! I spent $1800 in Q this last winter just for 2 100ah lithium batteries + labor to install in my RV. This is good info for a future cabin build on some vacant land. My truck camper has 400 W solar, 1500W Inverter, 100ah SOK Lithium battery. I can't tell you how much all of that cost me with the hardware to attach to the roof and the cabling and the parts and tools to make the terminations and the fuse box, etc. An all in one solution like the ones Bluetti offers that can fit your energy needs seem like a no-brainer whether you're in an off grid minivan or big rig or remote cabin. Thanks for bringing these products to our attention and serving all of the nomadic community!

[@jeremytorgersen]

I lean towards getting this system for several reasons, some of which mentioned in this video. I do plan on starting nomadic life very soon with the intention of getting a small off-grid a-frame cabin and geodesic dome sometime down the road. What I like about this is that it is portable and can be moved, whereas the permanent systems that are installed in vehicles are essentially stuck there. I greatly prefer flexibility and optionality, (one of the key reasons I am drawn to nomadic life). If I had a large Clam tent or Wall/Bell tent, this would work well in it I believe. Additionally, I also like stealth and don't want permanent solar panels on my vehicle (4Runner), plus I will have a large cargo box on the roof. Also, I will largely be following spring/fall weather and even though where I live in Utah we get plenty of solar, places that I like to go in the Pacific Northwest get a lot of rain, thus having a large battery reserve would be ideal when several days could go by without sunshine.

I own the AC200max, the quality is phenomenal. And I have 700 wats of solar, and the inverter and the charger in my RV... My inverter, charge controller and cables cost me just shy of 3 grand a couple years ago. Now I am always building something, but if I were not that handy I would buy the bluetti rather than trying to find someone to build a system.

[@Bluponi]

Best explanation starting at 04:00 I love the fact that you can charge batteries separately and have a potentially unlimited supply of power, recharging faster than you can draw power from it... I would have 80 of the B 300 batteries on hand, that should be enough to get me through winter... LOL

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

I need this for off-grid living (after I buy my land) because it is simple to use and expandable. As you explained, the price is worth it. Another YTbr got the Point Zero Energy Titan but it's higher priced, more bulky-looking and takes forever to get, and I mean months.😦 The Bluetti is priced a little lower, is more compact and neat looking and I trust the name. Time to save up for it because I'm definitely going to get it! SO thrilled that you did this demonstration because my needs and questions are all answered with the BLUETTI AC300 and B300! I have a Renogy Phoenix 200 that I'll use in my minivan when I get it and go nomad in a couple of weeks. Thanks, Bob!

[@jamesmorrison1683]

I am seriously considering getting a Bluetti AC300. The power goes out entirely too often in my area. I don't like to start a gas generator unless the power is out for more than a day. A solar generator can power my oxygen generator, and other things of necessity during a short-term power outage. $5000 is a lot for such a thing, especially when a Generac that run the whole house for $4000 more. Probably get both in time. Good video. 👍

[@nonpublished]

Thanks for this review. I decided to go with this system, with two batteries. I plan on using it in my RV, and also in my home, as an emergency power bank during power outages. I’m very happy with it, so far! One thing that I don’t like about this system, are the battery cables. If you fail to engage the slide “lock” on the cable plug after plugging it in, the system will see the battery, and will power it up, but it won’t be able to draw any power from it. These aren’t just latches to keep the plugs in, they are also switches that quietly interrupt the BMS connections! All in all though, this is a great system!

[@fightintheshade]

I’m thinking of getting your setup with 1200watts solar for my 40ft 5th wheel. With optimal sun what could be run in the RV off this?

[@nonpublished]

@@fightintheshade Figure on 1000 watts coming in, and decide how many B300 batteries you’re going to get (4 is the most one AC300 can use). If you buy two, that’ll give you 6000wh from the BLUETTI and 1000 watts from the panels. If you depleted the 6000wh, you’d need 6 hours of good sunlight to replenish it, even while you’re using the BLUETTI. Add your appliances/lighting needs up, to see what they total. Air conditioning and microwaves draw a lot of power. I have a feeling that an AC300 and two B300s should be enough for anything, but you could possibly use power quicker than the panels are providing it, which is why you should do the math.

[@puskabeuford8667]

The AC controller can be programmed to accept 3000 watt imput! A 3000 watt inverter generator will charge a single battery in about 45 minutes! Perfect for RVs. Plus it has a 30 amp plugin so if your RV is 30 amps it will run it but you may need additional batteries to run the ac full time.

[@kimwarfield1587]

The 200 Max with 2 x B230 takes you to 6144. You can also use the B300 x 2 for 8k watts. I think that is enough to run a cabin off grid. I also got 3 x 200 watt RichSolar folding glass panels. I may get another folding panel for 800 or 900 watts. I got the 500 watt solar brick adapter so I should be good to go with three panels.

absolutely worth the money - even for smaller RV or van set ups, - imo - IF you can afford it (rules me out).

I’m ignorant when it comes to power, I just need to know would a RV air conditioner run off of this?

[@landstormer4884]

Mimi, the setup in Bob’s video should run 1 RV air conditioner up to a 15,000 BTU model. The specs say 6000 watt surge on the inverter so that more than enough to start the air conditioner compressor. I would recommend installing a Micro Air- easy start module on the RV air conditioner. This will keep the wattage down to a lower level when the air conditioner compressor starts. You would need approximately 1500 watts of solar going into the AC300 and the B300 battery to offset the Air conditioner consumption. So theoretically you could run the AC as long as you had good solar conditions without running the Battery of the B300 down to zero. Hope this helps.

This is what I will be using. Thanks for sharing the info

Unlimited growth I like❤

In my case I'm considering my own age to guide my decision between Bluettis. So at this point I would not see myself needing to put roots down due to old age for 15 or more years and I would choose one of the other units. This Bluetti would be overkill and not only that it being highly transportable also means a thief can easily walk away with nearly 4 grand within a minute...ouch! However at an older age I would settle into a cabin and could secure the unit and I would also need the giant power source.

Definitely buy the ac300 over the max. I bought the max and it was faulty system.

[@Jjsaba2008]

Like the video lotta information thank you very much for that I was wondering your opinion if you would go with the AC 300 or the AC 200 max for a little bit of home back up but mostly for our trailer when we are camping because we live in California and we can always run gas generators as far as the trailer goes we just need to run the microwave every once in a while charge the batteries on the trailer and keep the lights on not too much air-conditioning

Bob, thanks for all the very informative videos over the years. I remember seeing a video you did on 12v fans... I'm still wondering how you live in Arizona without A.C.? Don't the fans just blow hot air around?

Thank you thank you thank you Bob 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️‼️🤗

[@jimbojones9665]

I like that the battery is external to the unit. A battery is a wear item. At some point, it WILL fail. I'd rather not have to pay to ship the entire unit back.

[@chadkline4268]

It would be nice if the AC300 was made so that internal components could be shipped/replaced. I'd hate to even pay to ship 50lbs.

[@jimbojones9665]

@@chadkline4268 Wouldn't that be great? Just have a compartment in it full of replaceable cells.

[@jeanmkelly1933]

I will be going with the AC 200 max. I am thinking of going that route with 2 of them. I will be dog grooming in the same van I will be traveling in. This way it's lower cost but redundancy is a plus for my business. I know I will be plugging and unplugging my equipment but I don't mind.

[@zfontain1975]

I would go with ac300 it's a better unit. Very heavy is the problem.

[@omavic9560]

I appreciate this review Bob, thanks!

Thank you for all the relevant information. It saved me time and money.

Hi Bob, I bought my van today. Scary to take this step in my life. It’s a very simple and small van. A dodge promaster 2021, built out by Winnebago, Solis pocket. Only 17’ 10”. It only has 170w of solar on the roof. I’m thinking of getting the 200max with a single 350w solar panel. I’m thinking I can plug the van into the 30amp service on the bluetti. I’d rather not deal with multiple portable solar panels. I’m running a frig 13 volt compressor. I’m thinking the 170 on roof will not be enough. I don’t want to plug in and would like to be off grid mostly.

[@thewindyone5228]

I researched, and concluded BLUETTI was for me. I chose the AC 200MAX because of the weight of the battery pac At 74 and heart surgery. I am going off grid. I am considering maybe pairing up a 300 battery for a second battery/system if it will be semi permanent...so I don’t have to move that half... I plan to run my hookah setup for sniping, my RV, my 220 well pump (when I complete my set up.)Until then I can live off grid comfortably.

[@zfontain1975]

I think the 300 is a better system over all. I have the max but there is no growth in it at all for solar.

[@factchecker9358]

When do we start seeing all electric RV models with low power appliances?

[@mahdiomran6345]

Thanks Bob ✋👍💚

[@BtsurvLT]

I need one that will power my TT to boon dock. I have a residential fridge in mine
