Unboxing RoadPro 12v Appliances For Van Life | Will These Work In My Van?
RoadPro is a brand many nomads are already familiar with as they are sold in truck stops across the country but also have been retailed online in most forums and social groups relating to van life and travel. I recently saw something I wanted to try and RoadPro was kind enough to send it to me so I could check it out so today we are unboxing this to see how it could work out for me in the van going forward.

The crock pot will be fun to use 😋 they make liners so you don't have to clean out the crock.

I just made potato soup in my mini crockpot a couple of days ago. Today I made biscuits in my sabot heat oven. TIP.. using a fan outdoors keeps the mosquitos and no see ums away. Their tiny wings can't fly in the moving air.

That’s why I usually do you use a fan in addition to just having some circulating air which makes life a bit better. Potato soup sounds extra good I think my first meal in mine will be a stew.

Ah, thanks for the explanation on the 12 V plugs. I used my lunch pail cooker yesterday in the back plug and my phone to navigate in the front plug and my wieners weren't quite hot enough. Luckily, my son picked me up from the garage, where my Pontiac Montana is being repaired, and we plugged it into his Subaru on the way to the park for our picnic and they were warm enough to make hot dogs. It was a fun time, on a hot day, sitting at a picnic table under a big shady tree. And Monty didn't just have an AC issue, turning off to save the engine, but needed it's thermostat replaced, too. So my son drove me home. Still waiting for the phone call to tell me good or bad news. Eventually, I'll have to get the transmission fixed, too, as it is slipping. Fun times. Luckily, I have saved for these kinds of things. Better than waiting for it to become an emergency. :) Cheers, Bunny. Jon in rural BC, Canada

I believe it broke because those lids are to be face down with the cord. I hope the cord breaking doesn’t dissuade anyone from buying this handy appliance. I plan on getting one, thanks to your review.

Great job Bunny as always. You're so informative. I get fans that are rechargeable and they hold the charge, still USB but that way they don't have to be plugged into a power source while they're being used and I love those. I can rotate a few of them if I need to.

@karinhart489 Жыл бұрын

Hmm, I was thinking you could save your clip-on rechargeable fans (I have 2 Opolars) to use their charge at night, but the 12v double fan my be helpful moving are around in the cab while driving in a heatwave since you can set the directions at different angles. I was going to test that theory out with one of my Opolar fans clipped onto the handle above the passenger seat next week when I have to drive over the hill to a much warmer place during another raise in temps.

Great video, Ty ❤️❤️❤️💯 The crock pot would be great during winter for food and to heat up the van as well. The fan, I hope bc I have no AC in my van and I am in Florida I'm pretty sure near death and I have ten USB fans that aren't good enough, I also have a Ryobi fan 5 batteries and still not good enough and a tower fan and all together I am burning up on fire. Definitely not enjoying this moment of van life. No matter how many fans it only blows the hot air . I love, love, love you and appreciate hearing about the things you test for us. I am definitely going to give these a try. Ty✌️🙏❤️🕯️🎈🌻😊

I've heard of the Road Pro and am interested. Thanks for unboxing it with the details. I'm sure Road Pro will send you another band for the crockpot lid. I've had several of those type of elastic bands pull apart. It may be a good idea to keep a spare band around for the road.

I prepare my meal in the Road Pro lunch box(using silicon liners) and plug it into my cigarette 9 volt. By the time I arrive it is done. I would think the crock pot would work the same way. I never use my generator (Delta Pro). I think the crock pot is great, but I’ll stick with my lunch box😉

That tiny cooker is so cute! Currently we just have a 300 watt power station so we cook with propane or butane for now, but it's nice to know about gadgets like that. Also, we currently have one little usb rechargeable fan that makes a big difference when we are trying to fall asleep in a muggy van. It would be nice to have another though! That fan may be a little too chonky for our Toyota Sienna, but maybe a single 12v fan would work for us. Thanks for the info! 😊

I wonder if the lid was intended to be stored upside down with a flat top and it would have less area to stretch that band. I have to store my crockpot that way. I really appreciate you going throughWhat size batteries you would needAfter that winter storm 2 years ago I'm all about having alternate food preparation. Right now I have a little alcohol stove that I use with ever clear cause I can cook inside with it.. ButA power bank that can run a 12 V appliance would be better.

KZfaq is playing for background noise for some reason this video came on made such a huge deal about nolstic breaking asking them to send you another one How about you just tie the two ends together call it good Very huge reaction for such mild inconvenience and a very simple fix 🤣

@BunnyPlaysHere 6 ай бұрын

The reason why I made a deal of this is so that people can see that this did in fact happen. A lot of times whenever you purchase something and then it messes up. You don’t understand that you can actually consult with the company and that they need to know there’s a flaw in design of a certain item. I get feedback to companies whenever I do reviews and it helps them to do differently on their products, however, it also helps the audience to see that there is customer support or is not customer support, which is also very valuable based on the kind of items that they may be getting. It’s not blowing out of proportion or making it into a big deal. It’s just being honest and reviewing something fully, but also communicating the process of what happens sometimes so others can see that that might be their reality as well. Whenever I review products for companies, I make sure that they understand that my review will be very honest and that I will talk about the good and the bad instead of just glossing over something.

I have a similar fan (mine is USB chargeable, but good and strong like that) and I have used it for outdoor cooking/dining and it works great, especially if you have a little bit of shade. How cool of Road Pro to reach out and send you some stuff. Good choices, I think for your needs. I am interested in the crockpot! That sounds awesome for winter especially when I’m driving all day in heavy snow (I make a trip out to Utah every January for a conference) or even just when I’m wanting something a little more stick to my ribs substantial. A pot roast with potatoes and carrots would be yummy. You might be able to fix the cord with a pop toggle. Something like this would work, I think.
