We take our Cadac, for bbq fish and meat, and a slow cooker.  You can put this on in the morning and come back to a casserole which has used very low amp electricity.  Mind you, we usually go out of season, when a piping hot casserole is just the job! 

I know it gets hot in a caravan, but cooking pasta is usually quick, especially if you use ready-bought sauces.

We also buy ready roasted chickens, which most of the supermarkets sell - just serve with salad and lots of crusty bread!

I've thought about buying a halogen oven in the past - may revisit the idea again!

Who needs a Remoska? I sit on the caravan step and stir fry in a wok outside on a single fierce gas ring screwed into the top of a Camping Gaz 907 gas bottle. I can cook prawns and baby squid with ginger, chilli and garlic in seconds. Noodles dunked in boiling water are ready nearly as fast. Serve with cold lager.

6 amps would allow for upto 1,400 watts which with a bit of juggling is a good bit of power, I would still be able to run our kit of that as listed below.

15lt Lidl Mini-Oven fan assisted (back in store again at £30) 1380watt 5.9amp on full tilt, using just the top element 3.3amp using just the bottom element is 2.8amp, the fan assist adds 0.1 of an Amp

Induction Hob

Electric Travel kettle

Satellite TV system

Water Pump

Compressor Fridge

Phone/Camera and Ni-MH battery chargers

I made a EHU Amp Monitor which is handy for keeping your eye on the Amps being drawn, there is a post on how to make the unit under the same name. The unit simply plugs inline at the electric inlet on a caravan/motorhome, for Tent EHU use it would either have to be at the electric post or can be inserted inline in the Tent to a suitabley modified EHU (EHU Modification, yet another post)
