Jackery instead of generator
I was wondering if anyone is using a system like the jackery instead of a generator. If so, how is it in national park campgrounds that don’t have electricity?

many campers use systems like Jackery instead of generators in national park campgrounds without electricity, appreciating their quiet operation, portability, and eco-friendliness.
Unless you are buying it for some other non-RV purpose, what advantage is this over just increasing the size of the RV battery bank by an equivalent amount.
They both still need to be charged by an external source. They still take up space.
I agree
There really is no production of energy, only the conversion from one form to another and storage. Some forms of conversion have advantages over others. Some are quiet, some are more dependable and some are more consistent. Each have their advantage and disadvantage. Choose your poison.
Safe travels Y'all.
It's just a stand alone battery bank. Not enough to run an aircon, so for an RV, there is no advantage over simply increasing the size of the onboard battery bank. You still need a power source to fill the battery bank. For light loads, solar I a good option if you have a clear view of the sun. For heavy loads generator makes sense and for light loads a couple gallons of fuel can last a week or more, charging it couple hours a day.
Just no scenario where a jackary makes sense just for an rv.
