The fan heater is the only item you listed that might be limited.

6 amps at 240 volts equates to a total load of 1440 watts, so the other items you mentioned should be ok.

You might struggle with the heater, just try it out and see.

On 6 amp, I can't run the electric kettle and fan at the same time.

6 amps is 1440 watts, far more than the air mask is likely to be rated at.

Hiya,

We have stayed at Fron Farm and managed to use a heater, hairdryer, GHD's, travel kettle, lantern and portable DVD player all on the 6 amp, not at the same time obviously.

We just used the heater and hairdryer on the lower setting and it was fine, didn't trip once.

Would recommend this site too, we had a fab time :)
