When Your Electric Teardrop Trailer or RV Becomes Your Home's Lifeline: The Ultimate Emergency Power Bank

The robust winds, nearing hurricane force, that have swept through Colorado this month left many without power—over 155,000 residents in the first weekend in April. But for one of our Campworks early adopters, power was no longer a concern as he tapped into the electric power of the Campworks NS-1 trailer.

We often overlook the dependability of our power grid until it falters. The windstorm that raged through the Denver area in early April was a jolting reminder of nature's unpredictability. It also reminded us that the Campworks electrified trailer can be used for more than just recreation. An early adopter of our technology, Gordon, found himself in the dark with his family. Armed with the power bank in the Campworks NS-1 Adventure Trailer, he took this overlanding tool and converted it into an emergency power station for his home. Gordon reported, "We've been without power for 34 hours, and the camper has been crucial in running our fridge and breast pump equipment."

The concept of RVs serving as emergency power sources isn't new, but traditional models, with their modest power capacities of 1-2kWh and low-power inverters topping out at 2000W, haven't been practical for widespread use. Campworks teardrop trailers, however, redefine this concept. Our designs are not only geared toward off-grid camping with minimal recharging requirements, but as Gordon's experience highlights, they also excel as dependable backup power sources for home use.

The efficacy of our teardrop trailer power comes from the advanced battery systems developed in partnership with Navico, a pioneer in marine battery technology. The NS-1 Electrified Pro model offers a formidable 9000W output, and the standard NS-1 Electrified model provides 4500W, guaranteeing that your most important appliances remain operational, independent of the local grid. With storage capacities of 12kWh for the Electrified Pro and 6kWh for the Electrified model, these systems can keep critical home systems running until power is restored.

As extreme weather events become more commonplace, it becomes even more important to have reliable emergency solutions wherever you are. The Campworks Nomadic System trailer is more than an accessory for wilderness explorations; it is a robust, ready-to-deploy power reserve for your home.
