I decided to go for the old 2 monitor set up with my Beelink GTR6 because its meant to be a bit of a powerhouse for handling multiple monitors. Its kind of great as a gaming PC so I’m told, so I decided to put it to the test and hook it up to an old TV I have with an HDMI input.
You can see that I went for the vertical set up rather than side by side, I find it much more conducive to work with this kind of a set up. If its side by side, then you are constantly deciding which one you are going to use as your main PC screen, but with this set up, its only an occasional glance up to the second monitor.
Obviously this set up is nothing to do with van life and car camping, but I’m not always away in the camper as a lot of people dont do this full time, so its actually a great use of your power station when you are not out and about. Just having an actual power station on your desk is insanely beneficial, think of all the outputs you’ll have compared to just your PC or laptop on its own.
I guess you could use the EcoFlow River 3 as a monitor riser in a van as well, if you are in a van, then vertical space is of less of a premium than horizontal space. So you are going to need a power source anyway (although solar more on an option in a van) so why not use it in a van if you have the vertical space. It could make life a lot easier knowing that all your power sources are in the one area.
It could be really useful in the event of a power cut as well, you can have the eco flow 3 charged up at 100% like mine and then if your power goes off, there is actually a light on the bottom of it as well which you could use to plug in all the things you need when you are in the dark.
It does very fast charging on the front via the USB C which I’m always using for my phone, you just need a cable which is possible of handling the fast charging. So when you have this say on your desk, you dont need to run back to your campervan to grab it and set it up. So have a think about using the power station as a riser and a power source in the even of a power cut for your home as well as your van / car camper.
