Hi folks, more help getting back to camping this year after a gap of about 10 yrs. Daughter now flown nest.and I'm looking at quechua 'full'x2 this pm.Now I'm slightly disabled and older i want a few more home comforts. I am looking at electric hookup for tent. I would like to be able to watch TV [maybe on laptop] or small flat screen, and would like to use some kind of electric mini oven/cooker. In the past i used gas but am now looking for easy items because of disabilities. Any advice would be much appreciated

Some of the mini ovens have been reported as getting very hot on the outside so you would need to be very careful if using it inside a tent.
You would also need to check the wattage (some are quite high at around 3000W) to ensure you don't trip the electric.

We have used mini ovens for years and found the lidl one to be the best if you have the space to carry it,as stated above the casings do get very hot so you need some kind of stand for it and a good air flow around it,cant just remember the power but it shouldn't be a problem on HUs over 10amp,if not used at the same time as other things like kettle,heater,toaster.

The Lidl one is 1300 watts, so fine on a 10amp EHU.

We have a small mini oven - just the cheapy cookworks one from Argos its ok for stuff like a small pizza, toast or a jacket potato but I wouldn't describe it as a godsend I think its for toast that its been most useful - now we've bought the cadac I'll prob leave it at home.

We use a tunnel tent as our awning and we have a Lidl's mini oven that we use in the tent. We stand it on an aluminium folding table.

Hi Angelcake

Have a look at the Cobb. It doesn't use electric so will leave you your power for other things. It's very lightweight and clean to run and only uses 7-8 briquettes for up to 3 hours use at domestic oven temperatures with little to no smoke, even when used as a BBQ. Unlike many electric ovens the only part of the Cobb that gets hot is the lid, and that has a well insulated handle. The whole thing only weighs 8 1/2 pounds and because it stays cool its easy to move when lit. Also you can use it to cook on a plastic table without damage. It is an excellent BBQ, oven, grill.
Also you can bake fresh bread and pizza in it. The whole thing is lightweight stainless steel and so will last for years.
We use ours both when camping but also on our boat, where we live most of the year. We wouldn't be without ours.
You'll have guessed that I am a real fan of the Cobb. I write for a hobby and have had a couple of article published. Here's one about the Cobb.

We too are looking at investing in a Cobb but only from the point of getting away from using Mains Electrics altogether.

If I was staying with mains, I would stay with my Mini Oven. It is quick, convienient and easy to keep clean. Also, as well as baking it will also grill.

Whilst I have no doubt that the Cobb is probably the smallest but most versitile BBQ I have seen, it is still just a BBQ and it is expensive.

I think that perhaps you should at least try out the Mini Oven firstly as they are cheap and they will give you and extension of the cooking you are used to doing at home anyway.
