- Unboxing RoadPro 12v Appliances For Van Life | Will These Work In My Van?
RoadPro is a brand many nomads are already familiar with as they are sold in truck stops across the country but also have been retailed online in most forums and social groups relating to van life and travel. I recently saw something I wanted to try and RoadPro was kind enough to send it to me so I could check it out so today we are unboxing this to see how it could work out for me in the van going forward.

The crock pot will be fun to use 😋 they make liners so you don't have to clean out the crock.
The clip on the fan could clip to the handle of the powerstation as well.
Yes i use those on my one at basecamp and also when i use the stove version
It’s amazing the gadgets that are made to keep us comfortable and I’m all about comfort!
Me too I have done the whole roughing it thing whenever he first started out and I decided that certain things are just worth spending a little bit of money on. If it can help me have a more convenient and easy day sometimes it’s just better.
❤ These small appliances are Good on Road & at Home ,helps save on energy!🌞👍
I just made potato soup in my mini crockpot a couple of days ago. Today I made biscuits in my sabot heat oven. TIP.. using a fan outdoors keeps the mosquitos and no see ums away. Their tiny wings can't fly in the moving air.
That’s why I usually do you use a fan in addition to just having some circulating air which makes life a bit better. Potato soup sounds extra good I think my first meal in mine will be a stew.
hello here is a tip
they have bags to line your crock pot it makes clean up easy
I love those
The Elastic only goes over the white pot, not the black pot. You’re stretched it too far. That’s why It broke.
I wonder if the lid was intended to be stored upside down with a flat top and it would have less area to stretch that band. I have to store my crockpot that way. I really appreciate you going throughWhat size batteries you would needAfter that winter storm 2 years ago I'm all about having alternate food preparation. Right now I have a little alcohol stove that I use with ever clear cause I can cook inside with it.. ButA power bank that can run a 12 V appliance would be better.
Perhaps
I have a knock-off Trangia alcohol stove stowed away as a backup in emergencies in case I need to save power.
Loving that fan!
We have a ford transit 250 cargo van that we went with a NO BUILD approach. We always appreciate seeing what others take along in their vans! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Love your content. I live in a tiny house. Excited for the tour.❤
This came out early didn’t it? Either way looking forward to your opinion on these, so checking them out with my morning coffee.
Yes i wanted to make sure it launched correctly before i hit the road today since signal might not have been great
Looking forward to seeing you use the crockpot, I’ve considered one of these every time I’ve stopped off at a truckstop, but never actually gotten one. I have the power to spare, so I definitely could but I didn’t know if it was worth it or if I should just bite the bullet and get a bigger crockpot.
I will be sharing recipes very soon!!!
Walmart has waste band elastic cut to size and sew the end. I'm sure you can find more things this will work on too.🙋♀️
Tent camper, just order the fan. Thanks for all the reviews.
No problem I have several things that I’m going to be reviewing while I’m at my base camp just to see if it’s something that would be a valid option in my van so we shall see on some other things as well. Lol.
I wish I had seen this before I purchased my KOONIE fan!!!! Good reviews. Thanks!
I believe it broke because those lids are to be face down with the cord. I hope the cord breaking doesn’t dissuade anyone from buying this handy appliance. I plan on getting one, thanks to your review.
Alternative/repair?
1. Take multiple elastic hair ties & loop them together to make a chain
or
2. Tie each end of the broken one to an elastic hair tie.
(The hair tie would supply the extra length needed after breakage and tieing.)
looks like some decent products - my Uncle always used Road Pro items while in the truck
Great job Bunny as always. You're so informative. I get fans that are rechargeable and they hold the charge, still USB but that way they don't have to be plugged into a power source while they're being used and I love those. I can rotate a few of them if I need to.
Hmm, I was thinking you could save your clip-on rechargeable fans (I have 2 Opolars) to use their charge at night, but the 12v double fan my be helpful moving are around in the cab while driving in a heatwave since you can set the directions at different angles. I was going to test that theory out with one of my Opolar fans clipped onto the handle above the passenger seat next week when I have to drive over the hill to a much warmer place during another raise in temps.
For ease of cleaning make sure to get some crock pot liners!
Love your videos!
Thank you!
I've heard of the Road Pro and am interested. Thanks for unboxing it with the details. I'm sure Road Pro will send you another band for the crockpot lid. I've had several of those type of elastic bands pull apart. It may be a good idea to keep a spare band around for the road.
Great video, Ty ❤️❤️❤️💯
The crock pot would be great during winter for food and to heat up the van as well. The fan, I hope bc I have no AC in my van and I am in Florida I'm pretty sure near death and I have ten USB fans that aren't good enough, I also have a Ryobi fan 5 batteries and still not good enough and a tower fan and all together I am burning up on fire. Definitely not enjoying this moment of van life. No matter how many fans it only blows the hot air . I love, love, love you and appreciate hearing about the things you test for us. I am definitely going to give these a try. Ty✌️🙏❤️🕯️🎈🌻😊
Ah, thanks for the explanation on the 12 V plugs. I used my lunch pail cooker yesterday in the back plug and my phone to navigate in the front plug and my wieners weren't quite hot enough.
Luckily, my son picked me up from the garage, where my Pontiac Montana is being repaired, and we plugged it into his Subaru on the way to the park for our picnic and they were warm enough to make hot dogs.
It was a fun time, on a hot day, sitting at a picnic table under a big shady tree.
And Monty didn't just have an AC issue, turning off to save the engine, but needed it's thermostat replaced, too. So my son drove me home. Still waiting for the phone call to tell me good or bad news.
Eventually, I'll have to get the transmission fixed, too, as it is slipping. Fun times.
Luckily, I have saved for these kinds of things. Better than waiting for it to become an emergency. :)
Cheers, Bunny.

Find a small bungee!👍🌞
I prepare my meal in the Road Pro lunch box(using silicon liners) and plug it into my cigarette 9 volt. By the time I arrive it is done. I would think the crock pot would work the same way. I never use my generator (Delta Pro). I think the crock pot is great, but I’ll stick with my lunch box😉
I always test things for power draw and timing first at base camp to help others and myself realize actual power demand better
@@BunnyPlaysHere Smart thinking! This is why we follow you… you are always thinking outside of the box🙏
I love that fan. I need it at home.
I love using crockpots, I would be judging the amount of space to store it to how often I would use it to see if it is really worth it. I figure I don't use one enough to bring it into a small space.
Mine gets winter use only pretty much
I use mine all the time
I could see myself using the bag cooker/hot logic more compared to a slow cooker.
@@patriciapuleski900yes, I use my HLM all the time as a slow cooker. However, as a 12v gadget queen I’m interested in watching these tests & reviews.
That tiny cooker is so cute! Currently we just have a 300 watt power station so we cook with propane or butane for now, but it's nice to know about gadgets like that. Also, we currently have one little usb rechargeable fan that makes a big difference when we are trying to fall asleep in a muggy van. It would be nice to have another though! That fan may be a little too chonky for our Toyota Sienna, but maybe a single 12v fan would work for us. Thanks for the info! 😊
I have a 300W power station as well and love it!
Call the company and tell them about the tie down cord breaking. If it's a good company, they will re-engineer the cord to work and last a lot longer.
I did call and they immediately were concerned that something was wrong.. asked me to send the product back at their expense so they could see what happened to make improvements and sent a new one
@BunnyPlaysHere I'm glad that they were concerned and willing to make appropriate changes. It was quite an embarrassment for the company that it broke, but they are willing to redeem themselves and send you a new and approved product. Please do a video on the improvement. This is how both we, as consumers, win and the company wins by showing the improvement.
That fan will be great for my setup.
My home slow cooker has one of those straps for the lid. I did the same thing and popped mine , then noticed the instructions said to stretch it from the ceramic handle to the ceramic handle instead of the cooker handles. Not sure if that one is the same way.
I am very excited about this fan set up because of the clip. I am going to try out a couple of different kinds of fans however just to see which one works best for what scenario because I do a lot of different activities so I’m very happy about this one for my van for sure.
Thx for those reviews... question though...your power bank there, have you done a review on it? If so, sorry couldn't find it?
I am still in the testing phase. I will be sharing a video of this one very soon.
I just enjoy your videos so much! ❤sending love from Florida❤
Thank you so much!!
You might wanna try two hair ties. One on left handle to center lid handle and second hair tie over right handle to center glass lid handle as youve done w left side.
That is actually a great idea or one of those elastic headbands
I have the stove after watching your video I also have the fan I love them both
I am soooo glad you are enjoying them as much as I am!!!!! The stove and I have been clutch in so many driving situations.
You'll be able to create a cooling vortex within Dimples with all the fans 😹
Absolutely!!
Knot a piece of elastic to replace the broken piece
❤Love your little Kitchen 😍
I think the crockpot with a liner so no clean up would be amazing.
That’s certainly how i plan on using it!!!
Currently I usually take only 2 hr trip's and back home but this would be handy just in case and I like to eat anywhere I go Lol
Absolutely spot on! I use my 12v HotLogic Mini for slow cooking during road trips these past several years, and it has meant better quality/ healthier food for a lot less money. I never had a crock pot before, nor seen one that was 12v, but imagine there are tons of things to make in one.
Go to a craft store and get a package of elastic cord, cut to length and tie a knot at the end, you might even be able to just tie a knot in the cord that broke, if it is long enough
Better than the tape I thought of 😂
Thank you❤
no problem!! so glad to be able to share and be helpful!!!
Like the items . About the Mountains House....went back to Walmart today.....they are indeed $11.47.....they were placed in a box sitting in aisle not on the shelf....thought that was strange
Those spotlight looking fans look pretty nice 👍
ATTLOOQ USB Desk Fan i found this usb C circulating mini fan. Love this while camping right now
Thanks for sharing this with us. The fans are Kool 👍 Great low wattage 👍. I can't wait to see how the crock pot works out. They both seam like great idea for traveling.
I have a Jeep and still concerned about using my 12v worried it would pop a fuse . Probably not but never know
Oh snap gotta find a new ponytail holder for your crack pot, oops 😁 crock pot😉😇
How many watts was the power station u used for this video? 😊
Great presentation. I like seeing this whether I decide to do the van or a tiny house.
Thinking I need a power bank for my Tinyhouse and add some of these things.
Any update on the broken top holder? Do you know if they updated that feature to a better bungy?
Are usually don’t get very excited about a video when it comes to an appliance, but that fan would be very handy. Getting a little bit of additional circulation as I am driving or while I am working could be nice. Thank you for sharing this.
Absolutely this would be perfect for that and I love the fact that you can move them around so you don’t have to have them just facing you. You can actually create movement of the air so it doesn’t become stagnant.
My dollar tree sells the large pony tail holders ( elastics ) that might help.
What’s the name of that power station
2am things HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I sure need one of those roadpro things
RUclips is playing for background noise for some reason this video came on made such a huge deal about nolstic breaking asking them to send you another one How about you just tie the two ends together call it good Very huge reaction for such mild inconvenience and a very simple fix 🤣
The reason why I made a deal of this is so that people can see that this did in fact happen. A lot of times whenever you purchase something and then it messes up. You don’t understand that you can actually consult with the company and that they need to know there’s a flaw in design of a certain item. I get feedback to companies whenever I do reviews and it helps them to do differently on their products, however, it also helps the audience to see that there is customer support or is not customer support, which is also very valuable based on the kind of items that they may be getting. It’s not blowing out of proportion or making it into a big deal. It’s just being honest and reviewing something fully, but also communicating the process of what happens sometimes so others can see that that might be their reality as well. Whenever I review products for companies, I make sure that they understand that my review will be very honest and that I will talk about the good and the bad instead of just glossing over something.
BUNNY! I love my Road Pro dual fan! It's a life/comfort saver! WOW! A coworker wanted one too so I ordered her one. Thank you SO MUCH for your unboxing and review! It's so wonderful
Yay!!! So glad it was helpful to you in finding something you love!!!!!
@@BunnyPlaysHere it's been 104 2 days in a row and I get in the hot as hell car. Today 103. The fan! Cools the car with the AC of course fast! ❤️It!
What kind of AC do you have?
In my van i have a zero breeze portable unit
Would love time stamps :)
That might be something that I explore in the future. Typically RUclips has been placing timestamps on things so I don’t even think about it but on this video for some reason they did not so I’m not sure if they’re not going to be doing that now lol they keep changing it up.
I have a similar fan (mine is USB chargeable, but good and strong like that) and I have used it for outdoor cooking/dining and it works great, especially if you have a little bit of shade. How cool of Road Pro to reach out and send you some stuff. Good choices, I think for your needs. I am interested in the crockpot! That sounds awesome for winter especially when I’m driving all day in heavy snow (I make a trip out to Utah every January for a conference) or even just when I’m wanting something a little more stick to my ribs substantial. A pot roast with potatoes and carrots would be yummy. You might be able to fix the cord with a pop toggle. Something like this would work, I think.
