Bought a Delongi Bambino oil filled radiator today and after being on for just 10 mins it's lovely and warm. It's only a 500w but boy does it throw out the heat.

We also bought what we thought was a 160 - 190W kettle but when we got it home it turns out it's a 2.3W. Will be returning that tomorrow as our other one is the same wattage.

Will let you know how the trip goes.

We use a 2kw kettle, just switch off the heat while you make the tea, it wont trip out 16 amps.

Well we are just back from our first ever winter trip and I have to say it was fantastic. Less crowds more available pitches and our caravan was just so warm and cosy I didn't want to come home. .................

Unfortunately we came home to heavy snow, a broken down boiler so no hot water or heating and to top it all I then burnt the dinner.  Wish I hadn't come home now it was so much better in ur caravan.
