Done the same with a Mini. Powers the kettle, hairdryer, microwave and the hot water heater in my California Exclusive. Easy enough power for 2 nights with an additional 36V EScooter Lipo battery, plugged into the solar port to expand the capacity with another 700Wh.
thanks i probably didn't give the little mini enough time, i traded it back in and paid a little more for the delta 2. It kept tripping on my air fryer but might not have set the thing up right in the settings who knows but glad you are enjoying yours.
@@andybearyaki yes I think max is 1400W with 1800 surge, so you need to be careful what appliances you can run. Water Heater is 600W so that's easy. Kettle was hard to find a good one, but we found a Philips one rated at 1500W but actually only draws 1300W. Delta 2 is a better unit but just too big to fit in our lower cupboard area. Those eScooter batteries are a really cheap way of expanding your Delta too, 1/4 the price of EcoFlows expansion unit.
Good options thanks 😊
Glad it helped :)
It was very helpful! Thx!
Very helpful vid, I’m about to embark on the same. Randomly, I like your side table to the bench, where did you get it from?

Although was a while ago now so not sure how quick they are to deliver etc
Very useful videos. Where did you buy the side bars and did you fit them yourself?
Hey yes fitted myself not that difficult just have to lay down a lot to get under the side to tighten bolts. Also you need to cut the trim where the metal brackets fit. I purchased on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174641486576. Happy camping and merry xmas.
Great, thanks very much. Are you are happy with quality and look of them?
@@mancol605 yes I wanted the black no chrome look and looks great in my opinion.
