Power Stations for RV & Van Life
Quiet, fuel-free power for boondocking: run the fridge, laptops, induction cooktop or CPAP without a generator, and recharge from shore power, the alternator or solar.
Recommended for RV and van life
Portable house batteries with high AC output, plus rigid and folding panels for the roof or the campsite.
How to size it
Three things our team checks before recommending a station.
Know your daily budget
A fridge, lights, laptops and phones typically land between 1 and 2 kWh a day; add an induction cooktop or a coffee maker and it climbs toward 3 kWh. Size the station to a full day, then let solar handle the rest.
Use every input
Charge from shore power when you have it, from the 12 V socket or an alternator charger while driving, and from panels when parked. Stations that accept all three stay full without a generator.
Pick the class
A DELTA 2 Max is the sweet spot for most vans; DELTA Pro and Pro Ultra run air conditioning and induction cooking in larger rigs and can grow with extra batteries.
Other situations
Same catalog, sorted for a different trip.
Which size power station do you need?
Four EcoFlow sizes cover almost everyone. Runtimes are estimates at a steady 30 W Starlink Mini draw.
| RIVER 2 Pro | DELTA 2 Max | DELTA Pro | DELTA Pro Ultra (inverter + 1 battery) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 768 Wh | 2,048 Wh | 3,600 Wh (expandable with extra batteries) | 6 kWh (expandable with more batteries) |
| AC output | 800 W | 2,400 W | 3,600 W | 7,200 W |
| Weight | 17.2 lb | About 50 lb | 99 lb, on wheels | About 186 lb with one battery, on wheels |
| Starlink Mini runtime | About 20 hours | About 2 days | About 4 days | About a week |
| Best for | Starlink Mini, laptops, weekend camp | Fridge, RV, basecamp with several people | Home essentials during an outage | Whole-home backup, HVAC, well pumps |

RV and van life power questions
Generator-free power for boondockers, weekend campers and full-timers. Still unsure? Call (619) 238-0205.
For most loads, yes: fridge, lights, laptops, TV, CPAP and short microwave use. Rooftop air conditioning is the exception — it needs a DELTA Pro or Pro Ultra class unit and uses roughly 1–1.5 kWh for every hour it runs.
An alternator charger is the fastest route and can refill a large station on a day’s drive; the 12 V socket works but only adds around 100 W. Combine driving charge with solar at camp and shore power when you have it.
Yes, as long as the panel output falls inside the station’s solar input range — DELTA-class units accept 500–1,000 W of solar. Check voltage and current limits on the station before you connect an existing array.
A 12 V fridge uses about 1 kWh a day, so a DELTA 2 Max runs one for roughly two days with no sun, and indefinitely with a 220 W panel. A RIVER 2 Pro manages about 18 hours before it needs solar.
Yes on a station with a 2,400 W or larger inverter, such as the DELTA 2 Max. A pot of coffee uses about 0.1 kWh and 20 minutes of induction cooking about 0.5 kWh — noticeable, but fine on a 2 kWh station with solar.
