Hi

does anyone know if it's safe to use a slow cooker in an awning? It will mean leaving it switched on while we're out for the day. This season will be the frist time we've used electrics. My mother in law uses hers all the time in her caravan without any problem.

Cheers

One of the best things that we ever bought, just use sensible precautions such as Mike describes. It's great to be out all day and to come back to a warm meal. Check on here and other websites for recipes, you will be suprised what you can prepare.

going to bring ours this year,esp for our easter wkend trip

while i'm here ... toasters ?! can you use a regular one from the home ??? or would it trip the electrics ?!

Look at the wattage on the bottom of the toaster rachieb - toaster should be fine as usually not a high power item unlike some of the rapid boil kettles

Think i will throw a cheap two slice one in the camper this year as we seem now to be only on EHU sites currently booked

1000w will be roughly 4A don't forget

Surely they're designed to be left. There's no point having one if you're at home to cook anyway

Thanks Dean that seems a really good price, I'll go and have a look.

Mike- I know they're made to be left to cook while you're out, I just wondered if it was safe to leave one switched on in the awning!!
