What I was implying is that it needs a good power supply.
I'm not sure what the power consumption of the unit is, but it trips any site supply that is less than 16A on start up so site supplies of 6A, 8A, or 10A will be no good. It has a 13A fuse fitted so must draw less than that but more than 10A. It runs quite happily when my caravan hookup is connected to a 13A socket at home but consideration in my reply is given that the OP may not ever take their van home and may use storage so will only ever use it on hookup.
And FYI a 2kW heater drawers 8.3A not 13A, go check your maths!

Sorry to the OP for my rant, buy some people on here appear to just like to pick up on others omissions in their posts with petty comments. Pity they can't put up a decent post themselves. "not sure of model,but will let you know next time i visit the van" or "and costs about". What sort of help is that to the OP?
