Hahahaha!!! I'm with you on that, Carmen.Heck if I could get it to power a chair that massages me after a long hike that would be great.
Depends on the voltages involved. I haven't looked at the link but let's call it 12v since that would allow you to use standard car adapters for cell phones, lights, etc. There is very little danger of a 12v short circuit being hot enough to start a fire unless that spot was wrapped in something that would easily catch a spark. Even then, it would be small, and you'd have to have the right wind, and larger flammable material, and your tent is only nylon.My worry would be that tents are very flammable. If something like that were to short circuit then it could potentially cause a fire that could injure someone.
well said... but I love to have some advanced and comfortable tools when camping with children... :tinysmile_twink_t2:sounds like a motel to me. If you start bringing solar panels, batteries, heaters, entertainment devices, fans, etc. then you're getting away from camping and moving toward motel stays. The walls are just thinner. We already have people who park a trailer on a concrete pad with running water, electricity, plumbing, climate control and a full kitchen and call that "camping".
The whole point of camping is to get away from the strains of complicated life and get back to the basics. If you bring the tech and complications with you, doesn't that defeat the purpose? It's like when my friend spent a week in Japan and only ate at American restaurants and hung out in the mall. He could have done that without the plane ticket.
