You can get higher than that these days, worth checking before you go away

Domestic kettles come in a range of wattage, like everything else you need to check your device rather than rely on what you are told.
Wattage should be marked on the device.

I use a travel kettle, boils in no time.

Don't forget that all the devices in use at the same time need adding up.

At one time we used to carry a tiny travel kettle (2 cup?), which we've had for years, now we have a low wattage kettle (800w?) from Aldi, if you where to put a stopwatch on it would show as taking longer to boil, but in real life you don't actually take much notice.

I thought I had a low wattage kettle that I brought out if I went on a site with eau. Plugged it in via the inverter last year and it tripped. Turned out my 'low watt kettle' was a little over 3000W. When I thought about it I realised it was physically bigger than the low power one I used to have but had never needed to check lol

I’ve been motorhoming for over 30 years and you already know more about electrics than I do

never used an elec hook up before.....bought the cable etc last year or maybe the year before (halfords)
hoping to use it soon.....it has one end which plugs into site elec...the other end has
and adapter which has female sockets.....(will have to have cable going thru window of van)

we have portable elec twin hob...smaller plate 1000watt larger 1500 watt
would we be able to use this with the elec hook up....
could we use both plates at once or only one at a time..or not at all

would we be able to use the toaster (which we use at home) dont know watts of it.
think we have a small elec camping kettle....could we use this...

would be grateful for any advice as to what we can use. best hair rollers for fine..
i have no idea of all this elect stuff.........many thanks

Yes it works
