Hi there, does anyone use a double electric hobplate on ehu? Just wondering if there would be any issues if using both plates at once on ehu?

Thanks

Happycamping :) xxx

We use one when on 16A sites with no problem, if on a 6A site you are limited to the smaller hob as most you should draw is 1.3kw, there is a way to calculate what your limit amps x volts = watts so 16A x 220v = 3520w so just over 3.5kw.
If you tend to camp on 16A sites and unsure what you can use it's basically anything fitted with a plug as they will be 13A max however never use two at the same time unless you are 200% sure they are less than 3.5kw combined.

10A = 2.2kw so personally I wouldn't risk having them both switched on at the same time however I would use them alternating ie brown beef on large hob - full power, add sauce let boil up then switch off (hob keeps heat for a while), on small hob boil water for pasta/rice whatever, once boiled switch off and switch large hob back on until bubbling and just switch between the two until meal is ready. This ensures no over useage of power and constant supervision of food so it doesn't stick to the pan which I will admit I tend to do at home with my electric hob .

Alternative is to get a couple of 1kw induction hobs - I swear by mine, its a lot quicker than a normal electric hob and its a lot smaller to pack. The one I have I from QVC and fits inside the pan of my frying pan when I travel. Cost me £34 + P&P. It cooks really well and I can boil 2 litres of water more quickly than my travel kettle could boil a cup full.

Great thanku so much for your help. We usually use gas but for safety and cost reasons think a hotplate is better. Will let you know how we get on though and thanks again for your comments xxx

On a 16amp hook up you will have a 10amp trip in your caravan so the most you will do is trip your own power
