Sorry guys another question can't u tell i'm a newbie, can't stop worrying.

We will be using EHU when we go on the 26th, don't know very much about leccy but I get the impression from previous threads on here that you should only have 1 thing plugged in at a time.  The site we are using says we will have: 16 amp Hook-up, is this good or bad? do we have to turn off the TV eveytime we boil the kettle of use something else?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

You should be fine with a 16amp supply.

In my caravan we have had running all at once the following....

water heater

kettle (1kw)

tv

lights

space heater

and have yet to trip a 16amp supply!

Apparently it can happen though if there is a great demand on the sites supply.

Thanks for that i did think it was going to be a nightmare having to keep unplugging stuff. If I did trip the electric for the whole camp, as there's 6 of us, will they know it's me?

I dont know if they can tell who it was. Any I have tripped tend to be 6amp and usually there is a reset switch at each supply point, well that's my experience anyway!
