    Lots of discussion about Club sites and 16 amps. That's fine but hopefully you will travel abroad in which case you should plan for much lower power EHU. Best to plan for more like 6 amps. Forget about using electric hob which is a waste of time and space outside the UK. Gas kettle is fine but a low power electric kettle is useful. Toaster OK but you can't toast baguettes!

    We regularly go to a site in Italy during the summer months and the EHU is around 3-4 amps. Everybody manages fine with this and as long as you keep hot water on the lowest setting and switch off when you use the kettle you won't have a problem.

    Oh yes you can - in a contact grill!

    We use a standard TV with a DVD in the side which we bought from Tesco,  but the kettle is a low powered one designed for camping/ caravanning.  We use the cooker grill for the times we want toast,  and the microwave came fitted with the caravan so I assume it is 'fit for purpose'.  This is the same as many others do and we haven't had any problem.

    P.S. We also run the heating and fridge on electric too.

    Charging a car is taking the ****, site EHU use was never intended for this. Even a small Nissan leaf has an inbuilt charger that draws 12 amps if connected via a single phase supply.

    I'd like to know the Clubs view on this.
