10 pieces of adventure vanlife gear you need – Advanture Magazine

You m

ay have noticed the easily recognisable solar generators splashed over social media. The Jackery portable power system entered the European market recently by storm. And we have to say, they are actually really good pieces of gear.

We were very curious to find out if the Jackery lived up to the hype, and can happily report that these are a very competitively priced, robust option that is perfectly suited for the adventure vehicle.

There are a number of sizes available in the range, starting at the rather small Explorer 240, and scaling up to the massive Explorer 1000. Jackery also produce a solar panel that plugs directly into the power system, which effectively charges with the built in MPPT charge controller. The unit can be charged via the 12v socket in your camper while the engine is on, and also with the supplied AC wall plug.

Each unit varies in the amount of outlets and sockets available, but all contain a 12v socket, a number of USBs and wall style outlet (UK, EU and USA sockets available)

We have a full video review releasing shortly on our Youtube channel, under the gear guides and reviews.
