The item in my kit

I bought EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station as part of my camper van equipment.

The RIVER 2 Pro is part of my portable equipment purchases, alongside the larger task of planning power around the van.

Where it fits my build

The van build used several working spaces, including the patio for the storage-bin drawer and an outdoor setup for the roof equipment. I measured and assembled the drawer frame on the patio before fitting the lining and slides.

During the earlier cargo-floor cleanup, I wrote about loading the tools back into the van and driving out to work. Moving and organizing the equipment was part of the practical routine around the fabrication tasks.

My build notes

The workshop arrangements changed with the job. The diary photos show both a timber assembly area and a portable saw setup, providing context for the work-holding and storage equipment in my purchases.

The kit had to move between storage, transport and the place where I was working.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The BLUETTI Elite 100 mini and Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 provide two other portable power-station formats. Case layout, outlet arrangement and battery capacity distinguish these options from the RIVER 2 Pro.
