PLEASE NOTE: SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE VIDEO AND OUR EVALUATION, ALLPOWERS NO LONGER OFFERS THE S2000 POWER STATION WITH A 30 AMP CONNECTION.
We are always on the lookout for efficient yet simple systems to extend our power needs in our RV travels. When towing for long days and overnight stays where there’s no opportunity to connect to a power pedestal, our option has been to power the 110 Volt appliances with a gasoline 4500 Watt generator. Sometimes this is overkill when we need to stop for 30 minutes for lunch or our overnight stay at a Harvest host occurs during the months when no air conditioning is needed. For these stops, we needed a midsize portable power stations. To meet these off-grid power needs, we tested the ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro portable power station and this unit exceeded our expectations especially with it’s 30 Amp RV connection.

I’ve had this unit for 2 years steady and it’s perfect
My friend you have a talent. Great job. I have my s2000 for a year. I dont use it full time but when I need it its been good.
Thanks! It’s a nice unit. Have been using quite a bit. We’ll have another high capacity unit we reviewed tomorrow.
Wow very good video thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the testing and information. I would also be interested in the AC test.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, thank you! It would be nice if they could move the solar input to the back of the unit close to the ac plug.
Thanks. Agree. I replaced the end of my 30 extension cord with a straight plug and can connect both 30 amps and solar.
Thank you, love the actual testing. Great job. Did you try the A/C?
Thanks Gary. I didn’t try the AC. I will, but at around an estimated 15 amps it will consume the unit’s capacity quickly. I’ll share the results when I test.
@DeFiDuke I got a notification from BougeRV. New edit coming with the correction.
When plugged in to 30amp, is this also sending charge to the onboard batteries like shore power? Great video as always.
Thanks. I mentioned in the video that I turned off the breaker to the convert / charger. The lights were running on battery only. Also,the inverter for the fridge has a built-in transfer. As soon as it senses 110V, it no longer pulls power from the battery.
Still dostant get me to go and get one what max load will it take befor it trips out
Thanks for the video. Did you think of trying to start-up your A/C? That is a what I will be trying on my RV this summer.
If it came on it would deplete the batteries in 90 minutes or so. The big issue is the compressor kick at start up. Maybe with a soft start, but still get a second or two at 20+ amps. Might work, but prefer the longer term use of fridge, TV, and cellular router.
@@iLoveRVlife - My goal is to test the 4000 Watt surge to confirm that it works with my 13500 BTU A/C. We had massive deals on Allpower items over the holidays, and I picked up 2 s2000 Pros, and the 400 Watt solar panels, which I plan to put through their paces when we return to our seasonal campsite. Thanks again for the video and your response. Cheers
Great video.
I ve been waiting for this solution to boondockers.
What about the house battery switch/kill switch?Did you turn ON or OFF position before your turn on the AC on the S2000PRO?
Thanks. I did not turn off. I treated the S2000 just as I would a campground power connection. As shown in the video, I connected to the side of the RV, pressed the button on the unit, and all powered up with no issues.
It actually work. Did you try leaving overnight outside the camper. Having issues with the app there a lag & stop responding with unit itself.
We’ve had it in the bottom storage area since the video. No issues with the app connection. I had a second or 2 for response, but didn’t see it as an issue. I’m using the iPhone app on a 13. It is Bluetooth. Could be interference or the phone if the lag is substantial.
Anyone know what's going on with tsd fuel? Mine is not working.
Jerry: how have you found the s2000pro working well for you while boondocking.Any issues? Has the 30 amp adapter plug worked well ?
I can you turn the unit off anon via Bluetooth?
It has worked well. We have to manage the amp hours available, but not issues. You can turn off the various features via the amp.
Jerry : if you hook up the rig to the Allpowers s2000pro can you turn it off and on remotely with app ?. Is it in a standby mode and uses a lot of juice while it is in stand by ?
In other words if the unit is plugged in and in your out side storage and you want to run the microwave, can you turn it on ( and off) remotely without having to go out to the unit?
I’m able to turn the inverter off and on with the app. I turn the DC portion on with no connection to limit time out as a power saving. Since I’m using power I don’t have an exact time when time out occurs and the app won’t access. I’ll also test the use over a period of time in standby. I’ll test this week and share an update in the comments.
How can you charge with solar and run AC current at the same time . I think you need an adapter.Have you tried this ?
I haven tried. The Ac charges very fast though.
What type of batteries do they have? How many times can you recharge? I like the 30a plug and most do not have that. Been following you for a long time. We are in Florida and I want to have a backup power solution.
It has Ternary lithium battery that uses a lithium nickel cobalt manganate (Li(NiCoMn)O2) ternary cathode. The documentation states 2500+ life cycles and lasts for almost 10 years (estimating one cycle per day). This unit is 1500 watt hours depending on your needs. If you need longer term back up with more watt hours, ALLPOWERS has the R4000 on sale rated at 3600 watt hours at half price. Appreciate you watching.
@@iLoveRVlife I am thinking that since it is not for RV use but just for home that the 3500 w with 4 solar panels would work best. Thanks for the quick response. Love your videos… very informative.
Thanks
Have you had a chance to continue using the Allpowers s2000pro in real life camping and found it to work well with it plugged in to your 30 amp plug? Any issues?
Only short term use so far. I haven’t had the opportunity to use for longer periods using solar to recharge the batteries.
You need to go boondocking!😀
Yes sir I do!
I think that if they rotated the 30A receptacle 30 to 45 degtees, the AC cable wouldn't block the solar charge port. Not knowing what the receptacle looks like behind the panel, that may not be possible
Agree. Thought about opening and rotating, but didn’t want to void warranty. I just cut off the end of the cord and replaced with a straight 30 amp plug.
Have you figured out how to charge the unit with the 30 amp cord plugged in ?. I have looked all over the internet for a 30 amp extension without success.
I did too with no luck. So I ordered this amzn.to/47HBPfM cut 6 inches of my existing cord and replaced with the straight plug. Not the most elegant solution, but works like a charm. I took the short 6 inch piece and made a short extension with the female plug. No idea what I’ll do with it, but who knows what project will come up in the future.
@@iLoveRVlife
Does the new 30 amp cord work well with the rig , plugged to shore power as well as to the Allpowers s2000 pro ? Does the solar battery function well when charging via solar and discharging through the 30amp RV cord ?
@gregggoebel3916 It does. It’s wired the same as the factory plug and has seals to waterproof.
It is clear it has a large capacity. When you had all the things (minus microwave) running what was the life on the unit?
I ran it for 26 hours and still had over 60 percent remaining.
Your microwave ran 5 minutes and didn't boil the water???
I just didn’t show the bubbles.
MAJOR CONCERN -- All calls to this company and all emails to this company have gone unanswered. I'd think twice about this company as i have a concern about the unit i bought and i can not get anyone to answer or respond. This is very disappointing that my experience thus far is that they are a sell it and forget it company.
I had 3 of them . First 2 showed up DOA . 3rd on worked for a month then wont hold a charge. They are junk. Save your money and buy a better brand. Pecron is affordable and reliable
turn on both ac's or your heat and watch it fail
The hear is powered by 12V DC and would have no affect. I mentioned the unit would not sustain AC units in the video. A moot point.
