Camping Gear We Actually Use

These are the camping items that have genuinely improved our teardrop camping setup over multiple trips. We prefer practical, durable gear that packs small, works reliably and earns its place.

⚡ Power & Electrical

Our power system allows us to stay off-grid for extended periods.

Solar Panel + MPPT Controller

A few hours of sunlight can give us around 36 hours of camping power. Our setup uses a 250W Kings solar panel and a Victron MPPT controller. It's simple, reliable and has kept us comfortably off-grid on countless trips.
