Why Go All-In on Electrification of Your Teardrop?

The rear kitchen of the NS-1 features a 3500w Kenyon Induction Cooktop, a solid butcher block surface, Easy Clean Drawer Slides, and Quick Access Storage for your camp Kitchen essentials.

I started my journey with Campworks as a customer, drawn in by something simple: the kitchen. After spending over 100 days camping and cooking with a propane stove, I quickly realized how frustrating propane can be in the wild. Here are some of the reasons why cooking with propane isn't all it's cracked up to be:

1. Wind

Even a slight breeze can disrupt your flame, making cooking uneven and stressful. Trying to shield the stove or relighting the flame multiple times can really take the joy out of outdoor cooking.

2. Temperature Control

Most camping stoves lack precise temperature control. You’re either blasting high heat or struggling to simmer. This makes cooking anything beyond simple meals a challenge and can easily result in burnt or undercooked food.

3. Messes from Cooking

Propane stoves can get dirty fast, but it’s not just grime and soot. Cooking outdoors with an open flame means dealing with food splatter, dried eggs, burnt sauces, and all kinds of sticky messes. These tend to bake onto the stove, especially in hard-to-clean areas like the burners and grates. Cleaning up after a meal becomes a tedious task, and when you're camping, you don’t always have the time or tools to scrub everything down properly.

4. Dealing with Propane Tanks

Juggling propane tanks is a hassle. Whether it’s moving propane from the heater to the stove, dealing with multiple bottles, or finding places to refill or exchange tanks, it adds complexity to your trip. And running out of propane in the middle of nowhere is a frustration no one wants to experience.

This is where the NS-1 from Campworks changed the game for me. The ability to cook with an induction stove meant no more propane worries, and I didn’t have to stress over battery capacity while cooking thanks to the NS-1's robust 12 kWh battery. That was a turning point. Knowing I had more than enough energy to prepare meals, run lights, and charge devices made camping feel less like “roughing it” and more like a seamless outdoor experience.

Campworks is built to electrify your time in nature.

As the majority owner and COO of Campworks, I now realize the advantages of electrification go far beyond the kitchen. Switching to an all-electric platform provides unparalleled convenience across your entire camping experience. Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Quick and Easy Setup

Forget the hassle of setting up multiple systems. With an all-electric platform, you can get your camp ready with minimal effort. From powering up your induction stove to plugging in your lights, it’s a breeze. Everything in the NS-1 is controlled from a centralized digital control panel or even your iPad, making the entire setup process incredibly intuitive and user-friendly.

With just a few taps, you can manage your teardrop’s power, monitor your battery status, control the climate system, and even adjust the lighting—all from one interface. Gone are the days of fumbling with switches or manually connecting devices. Whether you’re inside the teardrop or relaxing outside, you can control everything at your fingertips, making the camping experience more convenient and efficient than ever.

This seamless integration of technology doesn’t just simplify setup, but it also allows for quick adjustments on the fly, ensuring your camp is perfectly tailored to your needs, no matter the situation.

2. Climate Control

Electric teardrops allow you to regulate the temperature inside your space with ease. Whether it’s cooling off on a hot summer day or warming up in the winter, electrification gives you full control over your environment—no more fussing with propane or diesel heaters, dealing with the noise of those systems running, or waking up cold because you ran out of propane or your propane tank froze. With electric climate control, you can enjoy a quiet, consistent, and worry-free environment, regardless of the weather outside.

3. Stress-Free Power for All Your Gadgets

Electricity isn’t just about convenience; it enhances your overall experience. Want to enjoy the convenience of Starlink for internet access or power up your laptop for some work in the wilderness? No problem. You can keep everything charged without worrying about constantly managing small battery packs or having to run a noisy generator. With an electric platform, you have all the power you need, seamlessly integrated into your teardrop, making your adventure smoother and more enjoyable.

For those who dream of becoming digital nomads or working remotely from the road, the combination of Starlink internet and abundant power means you never have to worry about losing connection or running out of battery. Whether you’re setting up a mobile office in the wilderness or extending your stay in remote locations, you can confidently work and explore at the same time, without the typical power constraints that can hold you back.

4. Freedom from Fuel Dependency

Perhaps the most significant benefit of electrification is energy independence. With solar panels recharging your battery, you don’t have to worry about running out of propane or diesel. The NS-1 can deploy over 2400 watts of solar, including an optional 2-axis, 400-watt solar tracking panel from Roboteos. This advanced solar tracking system optimizes the angle of your panels throughout the day, ensuring maximum energy capture—even in less-than-ideal conditions.

This setup allows you to collect more solar energy, keep your battery charged, and extend your time off-grid without sacrificing comfort or functionality. With this much renewable energy at your disposal, you can confidently explore remote areas without worrying about finding fuel sources or running out of power. Whether it’s powering your induction stove, running climate control, or charging your gadgets, you have a renewable and reliable energy solution that keeps you going as long as you need.

5. A Backup Power Source for Your Home

The benefits of an all-electric teardrop extend beyond the campground. With 12 kWh of battery capacity, 9 kW of output, and the ability to collect over 2.4 kW of solar energy per hour, your teardrop can act as a backup power source for your home. Simply plug it into a generator inlet, and you’re ready to handle power outages, storms, or emergencies. Couple this with features like three-stage water filtration and climate control, and you’ve got a mobile fortress ready for any situation.

The Future of Camping is Electric

Electrifying your teardrop is more than a modern convenience—it’s a game-changer. From seamless cooking to freedom from fuel worries, going all-in on an electric setup enhances every part of your adventure. Whether you’re exploring remote landscapes or simply want to be prepared for the unexpected, an electric teardrop is your key to a better, more sustainable camping experience.
