we ordered ours from go outdoors last night just checked and has been dispatched so hopefully will be here before we go away at the weekend!! Have been looking at getting one for a while but they all seemed so expensive, with delivery and the discout card was just short of £40 which i was more than happy with.

Ours is 20m and never had a problem with it reaching the bollard.
Remeber to uncurl it completely even if you only need a few metres of cable.

Yes you can plug pretty much anything in to them but you need to keep a close eye on the wattage of each item so you don't trip the electric (this will not make you popular!!)

I'm sure someone will be along with the link in a minute that shows you how to work it out and there was a list of appliances and there wattage as a guide.
As a very basic rule of thumb, only have 1 heating appliances on at a time, so don't have the kettle and a heater going at the same time.

We usually run a 1kw fan heater, a small fridge/cool box and a light.

Most sites are 10 am p or 16 amp but some can be as low as 5 amp so ask at reception when you check in.

hi paul

to work out what you plug in is divide the watts by 240v.

so a 2000kw heater is 2000/240=8.33 amps

and a 2200kw kettle is 2200/240=9.16 amps(these two things will probably the highest amps you will use)

so you can work out that you can have one of these on with something with a lower ampage but not these two things on together as they come to 17.49 amps.

hope this helps

yngwie.
