What this baby "The Bluetti AC200P Power Station can actually do in ANY RV in an emergency, or no shore power. I love this thing.

This Bluetti AC200P and 2 - BLUETTI SP200 solar panels (as a minimum) checked all the boxes for what I was looking for to cover all our bases in the event of any type of emergency, no shore power or when we boon dock.

If you want to know how I came to the decisions I did for my complete emergency plan, watch these two videos:

Please don't ask me about any particular device you have if it will run off the Bluetti AC200P
If you want to know how long this Bluetti AC200P will power any device you have, use this formula:
• 1800wh (or so usable) divided by the amount of watts your device uses, & that will give you the amount of hours it will run that device.

Be sure to buy the BLUETTI SP200 solar panels and at least 2 of them. Buying just one SP200 solar panel won’t do you any good. The Bluetti AC200P requires a certain amount of solar coming in to work properly. So again buy at least least 2 - SP200 solar panels. They are much more efficient, lighter in weight and fold to a smaller foot print for storage than the PV200 solar panels. The SP200 solar panels also have the ability to hang as well OR deploy horizontally on the ground like you normally would. The Bluetti AC200P can take up to a total of 700 watts of solar. You can hook up more than 700 watts of solar, but the Bluetti AC200P won’t take on anymore than 700watts.

BLUETTI SP200 solar panels are a 200-watt monocrystalline solar panel with high conversion efficiency, up to 23.5%, which is much higher than the typical solar panel generator/charger. With excellent 95% transparency, the BLUETTI SP200 performs better than similarly-rated polycrystalline solar panels in low-light conditions, and is much higher than the market's average.

The BLUETTI AC200P now offers the ability to add extra an 2048Wh, LiFePO4 battery. It’s the BLUETTI B230 Expansion Battery. You can add up to two of these B230’s. One via the solar input port by a converter cable, and another via the AC adapter inlet. For our RV needs and for emergencies I decided that this was way over kill for the way we travel and live. Your needs may be different. For larger rigs, or folks who live off grid for months at a time, have a summer cabin or a tiny house this would be an easy solution or perhaps go to the even bigger model the AC200MAX and more additional batteries.

The only time I would run my onboard 5500 generator in an emergency is if I absolutely had to have some air conditioning for a short while and gas was readily available to replenish my motorhome tank.

DISCLAIMER:
We are in no way experts or professional mechanics. But being a journeyman millwright for years & being EX Military, has proven to be very helpful in my lifetime learning how to care for & maintain all sorts of machinery & equipment like: helicopters, airplanes, tanks, motorcycles & many types of other vehicles. That, along with 18 months preparing & upgrading our RV before we went full time, & now traveling for several years has gained us a lot of knowledge.
