    Are those just doubled up full extension drawer slides? Or something more robust or specific? I love that idea!

    These are 60 inch side drawer slides installed undermount style. Not how their intended to be used so the 500lb rating is significantly reduced. They are heavy though. May revamp this and use aluminium Lchannel with some skateboard wheel bearings in place of the slides.

    I've been using the rockpals 100w folding panel (on Amazon) for a while now and it's been great. Way more compact and portable for those that don't want permanently mounted panels or a 50lb solar suitcase. Easier to move around for maximum sunlight, too.

    Lots of shenanigans.
    So I've pretty much narrowed it down to either the Bluetti EB-55 (I can get a $50 coupon) or the EcoFlow River Pro. I like the price of the Bluetti and understand that I won't be able to max it out like the EcoFlow but the Eco is $150 more. I was thinking that I can use the Eco as a dual purpose for camping and during hurricane season. Thoughts?

    After reading all of this i bought a Bluetti 150. I like the fast recharge of the eco river but they are big $$ and completely sold out. I have almost zero use for high watt inverters so the choice was pretty easy.
    Having said that, if the eco river pro was available, I may have gone that route.

    Awesome that you finally pulled the trigger. As long it fits your application that's what matters. You should get good long use out of that unit.

    Are you getting solar panels?

    Lots of shenanigans.
    So, I decided to go with the Bluetti EB-55, thanks for all of the help folks! Once again, Tundra forum saves the day but not my wallet. I plan on purchasing a generator for the house before the next hurricane season and that should be sufficient for my needs. I decided to save some money with the EB-55 since there was a $50 coupon plus I had some leftover Amazon gift card money. It'll work for my needs and I understand its limitations compared to the EcoFlow. Just for my situation, I couldn't justify the additional $200 cost for the Eco Flow. I'm excited to expand on my Overlanding gear though!!

    Nice! Congrats! It’s great having different power options. Definitely puts the mind a little at ease. Not sure what your plans are with your future generator. If you’re going to tie it into your house, go with an interlock switch instead of a transfer switch. Wish I had known about them before installing the transfer switch. Anyways, just my $.02. Enjoy!

    Can anyone smarter than me answer how long the bluetti eb55 would last with something pulling 90w from a 120v to 12v dc adapter ? Its for a medical device when camping of power outages

    I got the 100w compact mono panel for $76 to my door. Pretty good deals can be had on there

    537WH (assuming that's useable power advertised) / 90watts = 5.9666666666666...6 repeating hours. Now factor in losses, not 100% charged or 100% usable and @dittothat is spot on with 5hrs of operation. If you can run it off 12v direct it may be slightly more efficient than 120v inverter? CPAP? A lot of people turn off or down certain features to run them longer off battery packs. I'm not smart enough to tell you back how exactly.

    I think their battery technology is just behind the times. They are good generators but lead acid technology ruled them out for me.
