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
