Just a general comment, in that induction hobs are great, and if I were to replace my hob at home, it will be an induction hob with as many burners as possible.
Had the Vango dual induction hob been available when I was having my PVC kitted out, I would probably have it as a mobile unit instead of forking out X times more on the built-in Thetford hob that I have now.
I have 2 induction hobs for pop up kitchen events, a single and a double, and they are great; however, not good for the van as they are too powerful.
I was able to justify a set of Tefal Ingenio cookware that I had lusted after for years for use with my induction hobs, and am very happy with them. The smaller pieces kept in the van.

You may well kick yourself for giving away the gas fridge! Electric coolboxes are no substitute for a fridge! The Peltier/Thermoelectric types generally only cool to 16C below ambient at best, and the ambient inside a tent can easily be 30 odd degrees or more on a warmish/sunnyish day, your perishables risk perishing, your butter/marge can easily melt on a long warm day!
Perishable foods should be stored at 0-4C for safety, which proper fridges can achieve up to around 35C ambient, electric coolboxes don't do so well. The other annoying thing is those with fans (which is most!) run constantly, and the fan noise can be an irritation when you are trying to sleep only a few feet away.
Other than dedicated ones meant for install (Webasto/Waeco), the mains powered cool boxes usually rate themselves at 20c below ambient so at 25 degrees C it’s running flat out to managed 5 degrees. Not really a fridge then.
Sorry Soggy, but with the exception of the first listed Outwell, what are these?
