Up until Easter we used a gas kettle then I thought why buy the gas when we were paying for the electirc on site .
We found a 1.7ltr kettle in Boyes - Argos have it if you look o the net but it's not one that's kept in store

Worked well - but as has already been said don't use it with a heater on as it trips your electric (soon sorted by taking something out and reseting your hook up)

This is the heater we bought - not quite as good as the last Bionnaire one which was discontinued

Nice one Keeley, its a useful guide

Also go to a Tesco's extra or Argos and look at there small white appliance value range.
Argos 2.2kw kettle £4.78 (that would be fine, its not constant use you see, just on for a short time.)
Argos 2 slice toaster £4.47 (can't remember but its less than a 1000w (1kW) so fine)
Argos value microwave £24.96 I'll have to pop down shed and check the wattage, can't remember, but its low. Don't assume that an 800w microwave takes 800w, like it would ever be that simple ) Anyway these budget microwaves are low energy consumption.

Never use the kettle toaster and microwave together though or even 2 at the same time

The wife thinks we are camping in luxury as we are taking a kettle and a heater......dont let her know that we can have a toaster and microwave too....... ......

lol OK, but a toaster for under a fiver soon pays for itself when your using there Leccy instead of your Gas, the tight ass camper is showing in me now

That would mean a whole new Axl, wheels and hitch

That seems like a good deal, is the RCD on the drum or near the plug

[jjthefridge]

Hi,

just after plug sealed water proof, seems really good
