What this video covers

Steve and Annette, the crew of SV Cordelia, are temporarily back in the UK handling family matters and living in a motorhome.0:41 They test a portable power station and solar panel supplied by All Powers after a previous wild camping trip failed when the unit ran out of electricity, leaving them without TV or lighting.4:27 The power station offers two 240V outlets, a 12V cigarette lighter socket, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, a wireless charging pad, and a built-in light; it connects to the All Powers app via Bluetooth for remote control.5:33 On a first overnight at Hurst Castle, the unit ran from 100% to 57% over roughly two and a half hours of TV use plus standby.8:27 Charging via the motorhome's cigarette lighter at 110W recovered 57% to 90% in 45 minutes over a 45-mile drive.10:55 The supplied solar panel delivered 75W and added 22 percentage points in about two hours of direct sun.11:55 Steve concludes the unit suits light van-life loads — TV, phones, laptops — but notes its modest capacity charges faster precisely because it is small.12:11 A 10% discount is available through their affiliate link using code sailing sv cordelia.13:00
