How Does A Pop Up Camper (1999 Starcraft Venture) Get Power When There Is No Electric Hook-up?  We Have No Rv Battery Nor A Generator But We Would Like Lights And Ac.  Can I Get A Hand Here, Kiddies?

Well..................first off...........

WELCOME TO PUT!!!!!


Next...............how are you at praying????? :p

Lights are no big deal. Just add a battery. AC is a little different. You're gonna need a fairly decent sized generator ;)

Other than that.......this is the only "Hand" that I can give you :#

I just bought a power pack from Sam's called Power on Board. It's a 400 watt rechargable power center with air inflator for blowing up air mattreses, an air compressor for inflating tires, two 110 outlets and a 12V DC outlet. It also has jumper cables to hook up to your car battery to give you 450 amps of starting power. I paid something like $65 for it.

I haven't taken it out on a camping trip yet, but I did plug my pop up to it and it ran the lights with no problem.

I think it's going to come in handy for us on our next dry camping trip.

One last thing. You can recharge your power pack while driving with the unit plugged into you cigerette lighter in your vehicle.

Good Luck
