Brilliant, I was going to post to ask if anyone could remember how to do the calculation for when we are away in September. We've got a 10amp hookup this time and we've only had 16amp before so I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to overload anything.

Hi Jayne
The calculation is Power (watts) = Voltage x Amps
0r current drawn (amps) = Power (watts)/Voltage
Hope this is useful

Hi
Copy all you like Carol, pleased that it's of use to you (& anyone else) The idea came about the last time we were camping & only had a 10amp hook up instead of usual 16 found on most of the sites that we visit, i was forever trying to work out how much power we were using, if we could use the kettle with the heater etc, so when i got home i decided to work it all out as above.
P.S Jason 16 Amp is 3680 Watts

This is another easy way to do it..
Remember
Volts x Amps = Watts
Watts/ Amps = Volts
Watts/volts = Amps
