Adventures in Driveway Camping
Didn’t really plan on this type of use when we bought the Micro Minnie 2100BH and the Ford F150 Powerboost with the built in. 7.2Kw inverter, but our daughter had a baby last Thursday so we hooked up Minnie and went to west Texas. We’ve definitely been doing some camping, not really driveway camping, but here we are, been here since Thursday night set up in their driveway.
I’m working from the trailer trying to get in full half days. It’s been just about 100 degrees every day and warm at night. I’ve had the trailer plugged into the truck for about 18 hours per day running the 15000btu AC pretty much non stop for 5 days now.
Just set the thermostat at 68 and enjoy a cup of hot coffee and a cold trailer every morning. The Ford Pass app shows me using about 1800watts when the AC is running, which is constantly. Everything is running smoothly, baby and mama are great, I’m getting work done, I’ve got a cold trailer office and full power for my phone, laptop, iPad, coffee maker, lights, water pump, water heater, and fridge.
Then this evening a storm rolls through and knocks power out to my daughter’s house. No electricity, no water, no worries. Son in law got a hot shower after working cows all day. Grandson got his iPad charged up, everyone has their phones charged and we all can use a bathroom, thanks to the Powerboost and the 2100BH. The truck and trailer have passed the stress test with flying colors. The truck is a unicorn with rainbows included.
