For some of us – camping in the winter is the best of both worlds! You get to go camping and enjoy the great outdoors, which is even more beautiful with snow on the ground. You also don’t have to deal with the large number of people that camp during the busy summer months. In the winter, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get into an RV park or campground as long as the roads haven’t been closed.

But with the positive aspects of winter camping, there is a potential issue of needing extra power while you’re boondocking. It’s colder so you’ll want a generator to run the heat most of the time and that doesn’t include your daily activities such as cooking and other amenities. Luckily, we have some solutions for you that will help make your winter camping even better!

 

1.) Lock and Load – Generator Tray

Get extra generator power with the Lock and Load!

The Lock and Load is designed to prevent costly generators, camping gear, welders, tool boxes and more from theft. It also protects you from unwanted exhaust fumes and stains from storing the generator inside your truck camper when not in use. The Lock and Load tray gives you the ability to lock, store and run your generator or motorized equipment simultaneously. That means you can permanently store your generator on the tray and stay nice and warm and cozy even in the winter!

2.) HiddenPower – Under Vehicle Battery Mount

The Hidden Power installs to your truck frame and doesn't affect clearance!

If you’re wanting to use the generator for heat, then you’ll need something extra to charge your phone and small electronics. You don’t want to chance running down your truck battery, especially in the winter and snow! So, what does that mean? You need an extra battery to save your vehicle from constantly running, depleting power and gas.

 

That’s where the HiddenPower comes in and becomes the new superhero for your truck.

Having an extra battery mounted will not only save you time with hassling to pull out batteries and connect them, it will allow you to camp without draining the vehicle’s battery. All you need is the battery mount and the HiddenPower Wiring Harness to establish connection.
