hi all i have a eldiss whirlwind deluxe 2 berth about 1988ish on the side of the van near to the door is a smaal round hole covered with a rubber cap which says britax or brifax cant quite make it out?? i thought it was a gas adaptor for a plug in bbq attachment, but after buying the adaptor it doesnt fit at all in fact on closer inspection in the hole it doesnt seem to be for gas at all it looks like one half of a fuse holder you would find in a plug??? sorry this is not to clear but its not to easy to describe. any thoughts or indeed right answers looked forward to. many thanks Mick.

It will I'm sure be Britax and probably an external 12 volt connection, I would expect it to be a 1/2" diameter hole with what you discribe at the bottom.

If I'm right then the plugs are now available from many dealers

I had one in my charger panel in a 1980 van!, yours will be connected to the battery via the wiring loom unless it's been disconnected? Outer of the hole is earth and the connection at the bottom is positive much like a cigar lighter in the car.

Uses are whatever you want to plug in,  their at least 5amps possibly 10amp rated.

Plug a TV in for the awning or a 12 volt lamp.
