October 24 Update
Since first writing we have now added the S1500 to our motorhome power set up. With the added benefit of being able to charge it whilst driving + solar. This now unlocks the access to microwave, halogen cookers, and induction hobs plus many other a/c powered devices whilst off grid.Obviously not all at the same time!
AllPowers S300 Li-Ion Solar Generator -
This is an October 23 Update based on our 45 days Southern Ireland Motorhome Road Trip. And how the Allpowers S300 and matching panel helped with our off grid stops. Supplying 240 ac 12 Volt dc and Multiple USB outlets. Once you work out how to balance your offgrid power requirements and knowing you can safely rely on 300 watts of power. You will certainly be able to extend your time off grid. During the bright weather the Allpowers 100w folding solar panel does a sterling job of keeping the S300 topped up.

I purchased the ALLPOWERS S300 on the recommendation of a friend, I'm so glad I did.
So many reasons why you need one of these. Here's just a few based on personal experience whilst using many free or low cost overnight stops without power, such as brit stops.
The ALLPOWERS S300 portable power station is equipped with a 288 watt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.
My top reasons...
1. Lightweight & Super simple to use.
2. No longer draining the van leisure batteries to critical level, charging up cameras, gadgets and phone
etc. The S300 takes care of all of those and more. Keeping the leisure batteries free to run the habitation
functions. Shower - Lights -Heating Fan - Thanks to the ALLPOWERS S300 we no longer wake up to flat
leisure batteries in the morning.
3. It's lithium and Unlike lead acid, AMG and Gel batteries which will only
(at best) give you a usable 50% of the stated Amp Hours. The ALLPOWERS S300 does exactly what it says
on the tin
4. Has inbuilt AC inverter 300v 500v peak - 2 AC ports allowing me to use some power tools off grid
including soldering iron and 150w hair dryer for the wife
5. Multiple charging options AC - DC car changing - Solar panel - Mains charger supplied
6. Wireless phone charging QI standard
7. Multiple power outputs AC - PD - QC3 - 3 usb ports - 2DC 12v 5A - 1 Car socket 12v/5A
8. Can power up to 10 items at same time
9. Intuitive user interface
10. Bluetooth control - Allows S300 to be stowed away connected - And controlled via tablet/smartphone
I've only owned the S300 for just over a month but even in that short space of time I can honestly say 'one of the best travelling gadgets I've ever owned - Go get one!

Not just for camping...
UPDATE - I am beginning to realise that the S300 is fast becoming the go to power source when working in the car, van, garden and so many other location where mains power is not available.
I MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED IN THE SUMMER - But as it's that time of year for getting your transport into ship shape condition I begin to realise how much more than just a camping accessory the Allpowers S300 solar generator is.
Obviously this is a 300w 500w peak device, so some high power items may not be suited. But that's not caused me any issues yet, especially with the added bonus of being able to view the exact power being drawn and built in safety shut off.
With careful power management in the motor home and with the correct cable - I was able to plug the A/C output from the S300 into the power in socket on the motor home - And successfully run lights, fridge but more importantly the fan on the Truma LPG heating system., *without depleting the leisure batteries. That's a major bonus on the at this time of year (January 2023).
*(This was with the 12 volt van system disconnected)
I used to own a 2.2kw petrol generator which was hardly ever used due to size weight and unreliability.
The S300 although a lower output power has had more use in the last month than the generator did in the four years I owned it - And of course zero noise pollution!
How did I ever manage without the Allpowers S300 in the past? It's making off grid camping for longer more achievable. Especially with the addition of the matching 100w folding solar panel without the need for separate charge controller as the S300 has one built in! Enjoy
