Has anyone got one of these JML go chefs, seen it advertised on TV and thought how handy it would be for camping but not come across many reviews for it. It's like an all in one does everything slow cooker/oven etc.
Looks good, watts are ok as well. We take a slow cooker and they are great. You come back after a day out to a great smell (leave it in the porch area) and a great one pot meal.

I don't really get the wattage thing as we've only used EHU last year and only really used it for things like phone chargers, hair dryer and LED lights. What is the highest wattage you can have for an appliance and where does it normally say the wattage for something?

It depends upon the site supply, usually either 6 amps or 10 amps.
On a 6A supply you can have a total load of approximately 1400 Watts and approx. 2400 Watts on a 10A supply.
Bear in mind though that anything with a motor, such as a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner, will have a higher starting current that may trip the electric.
Basically if you have a 16 am p supply hook up then divide your watts on the appliance by the voltage supplied on the hook up i.e. 220-240v (UK) typically i use 230v and this gives you your amps therefore:-
2000watts / 230volts = 8.7 amps that's the current draw on this appliance. Add up everything that is is on i.e. lights, tv, water boiler, fridge, heating and work our current draw as long as its not more than 16 amps (site supply), then it should not trip the electrics.
Dont use too many high watt appliances at once ie. kettle, heating, hair dryer etc.
