I always asked to double check when I started camping in 2007, as some sites only had 6A or 8A EHU at the time.
I would only have one appliance with a heating element being on at any time, with maximum wattage of 2kW.
Tripping the site EHU was no fun and very embarrassing, and I had only done that once quite early on in my camping days by forgetting the heater was on when I turned on the kettle, DOH!
I have requested for a visual display of power consumption as part of my campervan's specification. If this is not possible, then I shall request for a master switch for kitchen appliances such as the electric cooker, kettle and small oven, so that I could put a sign next to it to remind myself to turn off the air con/heating etc. before I start cooking.
The electric 2-burn hob I have chosen for my van is specifically designed for the RV market by Thetford, and it costs a lot more than the light use catering grade one that I have. It is designed to use no more than 230V/10A at 2.3kW maximum input, with auto power switching to minimise overloading.
I would like to believe Thetford has done a thorough market research before deciding on its user design specifications and opted for 10A and not 16A!
As for the new cordless kettle I bought for the van, it is 2kW with only 1L capacity, the kind that one finds in hotel rooms in UK. 2kW or less kettles with over 1L capacity are not common nowadays!
