I use my crate for when we take trips to a lake that's near us, we grill on charcoal but have milk crate for using an instant pot and running a fan, dc cooler , and of course charging iPads , phones etc.. I plan on using it camping as soon as weather cools a bit more. I also use it at home sometimes to do things instead of using an extension cord. I love just knowing that I have it for emergencies. I opted to remove the charger from the crate to make it lighter and neater, I can still use a charger without having it mounted in the crate.
