Many campsites have electrical outlets for camper van adventurers. However, sometimes you might be off the grid for a while and need a backup power source, especially if you rely on an internet connection and a laptop for work.

Modern technology offers solutions like generators, heavy-duty power banks, and solar panels to provide power when it’s not available. Some of the best options combine different power-generating technologies, giving you a large power reserve and the ability to top them up for more power while they’re not in use.

There are various options available, but they differ in price and function. If you have the budget for it, you might want to consider a multipurpose generator like the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus, which costs $3,299 in the dual solar panel configuration on Amazon. This generator has ample storage when fully charged and provides 3,000 watts of energy to power heavy load appliances both inside and outside your camper van.

The Jackery Solar Generator has a shock-resistant and fire-retardant design, operates quietly, and fully charges in about two hours using a wall outlet. It includes universal outlets, heavy-duty outlet, USB-C ports, and USB-A connections for smaller devices. Notably, it also comes with two large solar panels for trickle charging its reserves when disconnected from a power source.
