What’s a Portable Power Station? What RVers need to know! AIR GEAR 2026-08-27 | For most RVers, power stations are quickly becoming a better option than gas generators. Silent, powerful - and without fumes, fuel, or noise - power stations cost a fraction of large battery upgrades and don't require any structural changes inside your RV. Plus you can use a power station for home power backup when you're not on the road.

Why you want this power station for your next RV trip! AIR GEAR 2026-03-02 | Forget the fumes and noise of a generator. Power stations are changing the game for RVing, cost far less than custom battery upgrades, and run silently with no need to carry fuel. We took the Sorein Power Station to a rally in Lake Havasu, AZ last month. Cloudy, cold conditions kept us from getting much solar gain but the power station performed like a champ and we ran everything we needed to in our Airstream. Modular so it's easy to get in/out of your tow vehicle. Expandable as your power needs change. Just plug it in and turn it on.

Solar – simplified! A guide to the basics AIR GEAR 2024-03-25 | Are you confused about solar power for your Airstream or other RV? A lot of people make RV solar a complicated topic but understanding solar is actually very EASY. You don't need to know about amps and volts, watts, or complicated math to benefit from using solar power in your RV. In a nutshell: the sun shines, solar panels collect the rays and convert it into electricity, the electricity charges your batteries, and the batteries power your electrical system so you can camp longer. This video de-mystifies the confusion about what "runs" on solar, how much power you really need, how to add more solar, and what the inverter is for. Plus a lot more.We collaborated with Brad Driver of @ThirteenAdventures to create this video. It's based on the AIR GEAR blog: Solar – simplified! A guide to the basicshttps://www.airgear.store/blogs/airstream/solar-simplifiedChapters00:00 - A simple explanation of how RV solar power works0:37 - What can I run on solar?1:28 - Can I use the inverter?2:22 - What size solar panel should I get?3:27 - Solar versus generator?4:14 - Should I increase the amount of solar that I have?4:46 - How do I know how much solar power I have?5:29 - Do I need to upgrade my batteries?6:06 - Average amount of of usable sun you can expect each day6:28 - Overview of rooftop solar options on popular Airstream modelsLooking for portable solar?

The Best RV Mat EVER (We are not kidding) AIR GEAR 2023-07-16 | Forget those bulky, heavy mats that stain, sop up rainwater and get moldy. The CGEAR Sand-Free RV Mat is lightweight, simple to clean, stain and UV resistant, comes with a matching storage bag, and keeps your Airstream CLEANER! Sand falls right through the mat's patented weave so you don't track it into your trailer or motorhome while you're camping. Lauren and Sam from @ALittleBitUnhitched put this mat to the test and found that dog slobber, mustard spills, and brat "accidents" were no match. And unlike the large mats you must roll up and find space for in the truck, the CGEAR RV Mat folds up and fits in a carry bag.

Something that you can suds up with very little water and that rinses easily because the suds don't linger. I use a Davines brand shampoo bar and conditioner but I imagine good salon brands like Purology will work too. If you use a brand that creates lots of bubbles and suds you will need more water to rinse. 1. Open shower door, kneel down in front of shower, and flip head / hair over the shower floor. 2. Turn on the shower sprayer to full and wet your hair from the back of your head as quickly as possible - working from under the hairline/from the back uses less water because you can use your hands to work the water into the ends as it hangs over your upside down head. 3. Work in the shampoo and use the water saver button on the handheld shower to turn on/off little spurts that drive the shampoo to suds up. 4. Rinse as quickly as you can from the back of your head. Use the hand that's not holding the handheld shower to rub out the suds while dousing your head with water.5. Put in the minimum amount of conditioner needed. 6. Rinse conditioner quickly from back of head as in step 4.Work quickly and be mindful of the water usage and this should work. Finally, I can wash my hair every day on a 4 night boondocking trip!HAPPY SHAMPOOING👀 VISIT OUR STORE https://airgear.store ARTICLES & GUIDES 🔦Maintenance & Inspection: https://www.airgear.store/blogs/maintenance-and-inspection ☀️ Solar, Electrical, Batteries: https://www.airgear.store/blogs/solar-electrical-and-batteries ☑️ Checklists and Guides: https://www.airgear.store/pages/checklists-and-guides ABOUT AIR GEAR Our mission is to make the RV travel experience awesome by helping people travel safer and smarter.

Whats in your campground water? | Airstream water quality AIR GEAR 2023-05-01 | Depending on where you travel, the ground water can contain anything from sand particles and hydrogen sulfide to bacterial microbes. All of these contribute to poor quality taste, and some even have health impacts. We tested several water filtration systems over the years but they were heavy, bulky, and a pain to set up. When we found Blu Tech's ELITE filtration system, we loved it from the start. Lightweight and so small it fits in an exterior compartment, the Blu Tech system gives you high quality, better tasting water without sacrificing water flow rate.

Ep 2 Why do my Airstream batteries keep going dead while Im camping? AIR GEAR 2023-01-16 | We got an interesting question last week from an Airstreamer whose batteries are going dead overnight while boondocking. What at first seemed to be a question about his CPAP was in fact a different way of asking the question we get all the time: "Why are my batteries going dead WHILE I'M CAMPING?" We deconstruct this issue by first explaining 2 facts about lead acid batteries that every Airstream owner must understand (or you will keep wondering why the batteries keep going dead!). Rich then analyzes this question by breaking down the power usage of this Airstream questioner is using and explaining how over-discharged batteries impact charge capacity and battery life. We offer several solutions to this Airstream questioner's problem, explain how to use an amp hour meter (and why it's essential equipment), and provide tips for battery capacity budgeting, traveling with laptops, and more.RESOURCES: Rich refers to this free guide, Diary of a Lithium Battery Upgrade: https://airgear.store/pages/diary-of-a-lithium-battery-upgrade-a-planning-guide-for-airstreamers 00:00 - Intro1:01 - 2 battery basics every Airstream owner MUST understand3:10 - How much battery capacity does this Airstreamer have?
