We are using our hook up (tent) for the first time this weekend items we will take are

camping fridge, and possibly a small halogen heater will this be too much for the site electrics what kind of things can we take??

Hi

The fridge dosnt use a lot of power but thing that heat up do, so I only usually use one thing that heats up at a time along with the fridge, and a night a light.

Somebody gave a basic rule of thumb as 1 kilowatt is usually 4 amps and thats what I go off, most site we go on are 16 amp.

find out what size watts the site will allow per pitch and then make sure your appliances is below that and you will be fine.

if you trip the switch, the site owner will turn it back on, you may be charged and he/she defo will not be too pleased if it happens in the middle of the night, in the rain, or more than 2 times he he he

good luck

I'm planning my main trip in the summer without EHU, but for the first time ever, I'm going to use it in October.

For a few little winter comforts

Hi we have a EHU with adaptor on one and a normal socket thing on other end bought from a camping shop, we have used it a few times with great success.  However, when I phoned one camp site she asked if we had a tripout on the EHU does anyone know what she is on about have I been doing something wrong.
