VCUTech 200W Portable Solar Panel – We bought this in Feb 2023 and it died in Oct 2023. The middle panel wasn’t putting out any voltage which caused the whole panel to not work. This is one of the few that have each panel in series. So if one panel isn’t getting light, the entire panel is essentially dead. You want to look for a panel that is in parallel (which is the vast majority). Don’t waste your money – try something else.

Gear IT 10AWG Sheathed Wire – We bought this also in Feb 2023 and within a few months we saw 2 of the red wires with cracked outer coating. We originally thought that may have been us that did that so we cut off and re-crimped. It ended up happening to each end where we removed the white outer sheathing and also at the MC connectors that we added. I cannot see how we would have cut the red or black insulation that many times without seeing it. We ended up tossing the entire cable due to concerns of future breakage. Stick to the BNTech Cable we talk about above instead.

Pittsburgh 7-piece Screwdriver Set – We bought these at Harbor Freight, which would likely be a lot cheaper than Amazon, but this was the same screwdrivers that we have. Not sure whether they include the case though (it’s not on the link). These are great for smaller screws around the camper – any switch screws or small electrical work seems to ALWAYS need these tiny things. We use them a LOT more often than expected!

ECOFlow 220W Portable Solar Panel – (STILL TESTING) We decided to try this portable solar panel after our first solar panel died (see the stuff at the bottom for details). We still wanted something fairly light-weight and something that could easily be stowed in our back seat without taking up a lot of room. We do like that this is IP67 rated so it can take some water without concern. It is glass so it’s heavier than our old dead panel and it likely more breakable. We’ll hope to get a longer-term review in the summer of 2024 after some heavier use.

BNTechGo 10AWG Wire – I was trying something different for our external solar panel and FAILED (see the stuff we tossed below). BNTech wire is ultra flexible and has been holding up FANTASTIC on our solar panels on the roof. I should have just used this for our portable solar panel in the first place.
