Going camping usually means leaving behind the conveniences that modern living has, much of which depends on electric power. To cook or make coffee, you would need to have a fire and for lighting at night, you have a fire or use portable lanterns. Of course, those who travel by a vehicle could bring along a portable generator or with some vehicles (like the latest Ford Ranger), there are heavy-duty 3-pin outlets to supply electricity for equipment and devices.

In future, those who travel outdoors with electric vehicles will be able to use their EVs like ‘power banks’ with a feature known as Vehicle-To-Load (V2L). It’s slowly becoming a common feature in many of the latest EVs and is useful not only for camping but also at home. The large amount of energy stored in the battery pack can be used to power appliances in the house, which would be useful when you have a power cut.

No one wants to have an accident and even small dents can be ‘painful’. While there are many places where repairs can be done, it’s always best to use the services of a repair centre of an authorised dealership of the vehicle’s brand. This is not only because professional and qualified services are assured but the facility will be able to get technical information from the manufacturer, if necessary, to ensure that repairs are done properly. Furthermore, there is the assurance of genuine parts being used.
