Hi, am newbie to this site and collecting our Dandy Designer tomorrow.  Had a 1976 Dandy years ago and could'nt really buy anything else now.

Could anyone help with Electric Hook Up details - is there an average amp power on camping sites ?  What amp power is needed to boil a kettle or watch TV ?  Is there a list anywhere that I could refer to - I have visions of blacking out the entire site .

Thanks.

Hi

I found this pdf leaflet from the caravan and camping club really usefull as far as ehu's go. It tells you how much each average item needs. So gives a good estimate you can do the conversion yourself I think its watts devided by volts. i.e if supply is 230 volts and your kettle uses 2300 watts then that will need 10amps. I think I got that info on here so you could do a search to double check.

Hope that helps

p.s if you search in equipment and put in watts to amps a list comes up. v.v.useful

Thanks for both the prompt answers to my query.

I am now able to set off tomorrow with confidence.  Still got a lot to re-learn about camping etc but know now that help is at hand.

Pleased I joined this site and hope to anticipate in future.

Many Thanks.

Good luck with it.  Hope the Dandy is OK.
