Problematic Areas
Expectations?
INSIGHTS Campers are exposed to sunlight while walking, and this allows them to use solar energy to produce power they need on vacation. Even in summer time, people need an extra warmer unit to get warm especially while sleeping. Today’s camping tools are re-chargable and need portable battery.
