Hello folks, Angelcake is after more help! Am looking at s/h mini oven/2hob with 1500 oven and 1000w hobs. Is this ok for site use. at the mo i.m unable to see the back so don't know what amps etc. Thanks

Depends on the campsite supply. If its a 10 amp supply you can draw up to 2300w, so you could use either the oven on it's own OR one or two hobs. If the supply is 6 amp you can only draw 1400w max, so only one hob at a time and you couldn't use the oven at all.

If the campsite supplies 16amp, you should technically be able to use both. However you don't say whether you're in a caravan, which will often have electrics that can cope with 16 amps, or using a standard tent EHU which will be rated at a max of 10amps anyway. Any higher than that it will trip. (Hopefully, otherwise you'll trip the bollard/campsite.)
