These are starting points by job, not a ranked chart. Each pick is one station from the published set. If the load or the carry does not match, use Find a station.

Phones and lights
293 Wh · 300 W · 7.1 lb (3.2 kg)
The Explorer 300 is the straightforward camping pick when the job is lanterns, phones, and a laptop. 293Wh and 300W continuous are enough for that, and 7.1 lb is actually carryable from the car.

Small fridge on a weekend
768 Wh · 800 W · 18.2 lb (8.3 kg)
If the cooler needs a compressor, 768Wh is a more honest size than a 300Wh box. The RIVER 2 Pro is 800W continuous on the sheet and 18.2 lb — a two-hand haul, not a daypack.

Galley and a 30A socket
2,048 Wh · 2,400 W · 61.6 lb (27.9 kg)
The AC200L is the van-life size in this set: 2,048Wh, 2,400W continuous, a TT-30 outlet, and 1,200W solar input. It weighs 61.6 lb, which is why it belongs in a bay, not on a camping weekend.

Skip if
You only run a 12V fridge and phones. A 500–1,000Wh station is a better match, and you will not use the 30A socket.
Fridge, lamp, router
1,024 Wh · 1,800 W · 27 lb (12.2 kg)
DELTA 2 is 1,024Wh with 1,800W continuous and 500W solar input. That is a realistic size for a refrigerator plus lights through a short outage if you recharge from the wall or a panel when you can.

Same class, higher solar ceiling
1,056 Wh · 1,800 W · 28.4 lb (12.9 kg)
The SOLIX C1000 sits in the same 1kWh band with 600W solar input on the sheet — the highest solar figure among the 1,000Wh stations here. Weight is 28.4 lb, still a two-hand carry up stairs.

When carry is the constraint
1,070Wh and 1,500W at 23.8 lb. If you want a fridge-class inverter without the 27–35 lb boxes, this is the one in the set. It still will not run a window AC for a useful stretch.
