We are going all electric, I need some advise about a Low Watt Hob,
Everything else is low watts but the hob we have is an induction hob which is 2000 watts, so everything in the tent will need to be turned of on a 10amp EHU, help please

Most induction hobs have stepped power levels, so will only deliver 2000w on max setting. There should be a table in the user manual or on line. Make a copy so you can refer to it in the tent.

I use an induction hob and rarely have in on a setting that goes above 500w. Saying that I never put it on at the same time as anything other than a light and a phone charger. Best to be safe than annoy the campsite
