We have one of these and they are around the 10A mark, as we normally book on sites which supply 16A it hasn't been a problem and when on lower amperage supply we try to juggle the hobs so that only one is on at a time as they do retain the heat fairly well too.

when we bought ours we ended up getting 2 separate rings after reading a good tip on here about if one of the rings break then you are left with 2 broken rings and you can place the rings as needed maybe you are using larger pans that require more space in between

I would be dubious about buying a hob that does not state the wattage.

It states one hob is 1500 watts which is 6.52 amps.

The other hob is 1000 watts which is 4.34 amps.

If you use both together they will draw 10.86 amps.

You might just get away with it on a campsite supplying 10 amps but I wouldn't risk it.

I have a Kampa single electric hob for use on occasions when the weather makes it impossible to cook outside.

It takes much longer to heat up than the instantaneous heat from the gas stove, the entire unit gets dangerously hot, and it takes a long time to cool down sufficiently to pick it up and move it.
To me there is no contest between gas and electric when camping.

We have just purchased a replacement double hob from Amazon £14.95 post free, came in 4 days. Looks same as Homebase model except knobs are black! We use a double hob in our small caravan, just remember not to switch anything else on at the same time. Always pre-boil water for spuds etc in your electric kettle as the hob would take ages to get up to the boil. With boiling water the hob then cooks ok.
NB: Some campsite owners not happy about use of electric for cooking, we have been charged a surcharge when we mentioned we are all-electric! Ironical when I have just been reading a thread where people leave fan heaters on all night, they would gobble up the amps much more than a 2 ring hob which has a thermostat. We have had a list of 'do's and don'ts' at a site which frowned on electric kettles. So you pay £4.50 a night to use your fridge and all else is taboo!

I think its pretty much horses for courses on subjects like this, our electric hob allows us to cook inside the tent. I would have thought a gas stove gets just as hot and we've never needed to move it whilst it is still hot as it stays on the kitchen stand until we pack away.
