Just came back from France where we hired a friudge from the site. Only problem was that the adapter I had did not fit the plug on the fridge.

Any ideas for an adaptor

Not sure I understand. If you hired the fridge in France why would it need a plug adaptor?

Loved the tent, but pitching/striking became less & less fun. Motorhome = arrive to brewing up in 10 minutes!

The fridge will have a french 2 pin plug on it that wont fit into the 3 pin socket of a UK EHU.

We have hired fridges in the past and always been given an adaptor by the site.
