hi simple rule is you can run most electrical items on the unit but NOT your house hold kettle 9/10  are rated at 3kw designed to boil fast for home use there are low wattage kettles we sell them but if your useing a gas cooker just use a cheap aluminium kettle for your stove

Can you see if you can borrow one of the suit case stoves.like this oneYou could use a kettel or sauspan on this

I've always used a normal household kettle on ehu with no problem.

 I always unplug any other heating appliance first though.

i e don't use kettle with, fan heater, toaster or iron, hairdryer or straighteners on at the same time. works fine with fridge and light at the same time though.

I have done this when in the caravan or tent, no problem.

you can run a dvd player, table lamp,

 a sandwich toaster was something we used to take and the george forman grill, too.

We carry a cheap tesco kettle ( 2kw ), and I would expect to be able to run the kettle and the DVD player at the sametime as the kettle. What I would not expect to be able to do would be to run the fan heater at the same time, we always unplug the fire before we put the kettle on.

cool.

Idea is, my DH suggested bringing the TV so the youngsters can bring the PS2 to play on of an evening. And we can play and watch DVDs on this set-up too. As its the first time we have camped with electric, I thought I better agree to this, but am hoping weather will be so hot and sunny we will be spending all day on the beach until the sun drops into the sea.
