1. Challenges of electricity consumption in RV life
Living in an RV can feel like a dream life. Traveling by RV provides freedom and adventure, but it's also fraught with challenges. Of those, RV electrical usage is a struggle that all RVers have to deal with on a daily basis.
A lead acid or lithium battery of the RV itself, if it is not an outside power supply, and no way it is in the long-term use of the basic such as air conditioner, refrigerator, lighting, indoor ventilation, also to charge To the way even more difficult to do. Traditional rooftop PV panels are restricted by weight and the angle of light, with the power generation efficiency significantly decreased on cloudy or winter days. Emergency applications also allow the use of standby generators but they are loud and waste fuel not conducive to the camping environment and do not create a good solution for the extended term.

A mid-sized RV with built-in summer air conditioning could easily consume 6KWh of electricity per day. Lead-acid, or lithium, batteries (typically 200Ah-400Ah, around 2. 4kWh-4. 8kWh is insufficient on its own for maintaining the operation of the air conditioner for a relatively long time. The bigger the RV, the more equipment, the greater the comfort and the greater the demands on the energy system. So it comes as no surprise that with the growth of the "home on wheels" lifestyle, an increasing number of RV travelers are seeking new energy sources which are both quieter, more sustainable and more cost-effective. Is there a product that can block out the sun and turn free sunlight into electricity? The Awnlux Flexible RV Solar Awning is the solution to that problem. While shading and cooling, it still can power up your RV, who will refuse a more free camping? .
3. Solar RV Awnings – An Affordable Green Energy Upgrade
Generator: Better Big When it comes to RV travel, it's all about power supply – or lack thereof – where comfort and freedom are concerned. With the development of green energy technology, an increasing number of RVers are considering "energy storage box + solar panels" as a reliable, and environmentally friendly energy source to enjoy life. This setup is slowly becoming the new go to direction for high-mid end RVS in the states.
Nevertheless, classic solar panels are most restricted to implementation on top of a car. Pragmatic as they are, they also have certain constraints: Fixed angles, space and being detached from leisure life scenes. The flexible solar awning launched by Awnlux has broken all these restrictions accurately and truly become an "affordable" green power upgrade.
Compared with traditional roof solar panels, the Awnlux solar awning has the following advantages:
-dual functions: power generation + shading
It is not only a solar panel, but also a functional outdoor awning equipment. It is also a portable power station for restoring safe power for the RV and offers a cool shade and an outdoor recreation space.
Flexible stretch, Angle adjustable, more energy-saving lighting effects
The traditional car rooftop solar panels are limited by the Angle of parking of the vehicle, and solar panels can intuitively flex the variable Angle expansion and contraction of sunshades according to the position of the sun, maximize the utilization of solar energy, improve the power generation efficiency, realize the real "follow the sun".
