Would anyone know how many amps would he used roughly for 3 heated mattress toppers?? We would also have our heater on overnight it's an oil follows radiator 1500w about 7 amps I think!!

We have 16amp hook up

Assuming 120w each,which is a lot for a heated topper,and assuming they are on full,then about 1.5 amps,so you will be well under 10A even with a couple of lights on. No point in worrying about exact figures,plenty of margin for error there. Have a nice trip.

A single electric blanket is normally 65w so 3 would be under 200w.

200w = 0.87Amps.

Oil filled radiator of 1500w = 6.52Amps.

I have taken this year's Mods as far as I can with the FC in the workshop and now need to get it erected outside with the new porch awning in situ before I see how it all goes together and what needs to be done where.

I will take the magnets, sewing kit and hook & loop to Witches and the Clink and while away the hours amist needles, thread and 2 lively dugs.
