An increase (reasonable) in electricity charge (or metered electricity charges) in return for, say 20plus  amps; the purpose of which would be to do away with gas completely . . . .for new caravans?

Don`t hit me too hard, guys . . . just a thought for the future of the industry!

It's more likely to go the other way and be restricted to 10 or 6 amps,the cost involved to the site owners to upgrade their equipment woild be prohibitive.

10-16 amp is sufficient we are all electric already and have been for many years. Just have to remember not to put too many heavy running things on at once.

Only ever blown the electrics off once in the last 30+ years. That was forgetting what we had on then and we had taken less electrical stuff then.

All electric at home also.

No gas = no Rallies, and no whistling kettle on the hob.

Less potential for fun. Less self reliance.

No thanks.

Do you remember the old primus & dixie. Not sure of your age.

 But my dad put a dixie onto the primus when it boiled it was Fussells condensed milk to not only whiten it but sweeten it at the same time.

 I loved Fussells much better than the thin, weak stuff nowadays back then you could have a good dollop on a teaspoon and it was so firm it gave you time to shove it into your mouth before it started trickling over the side.  yum can taste it now.

Some of Swift,s 2013 range now boast 3KW alde heating elements which would require around 12 amps alone never mind the kettle and Bailey did an mains electric only version but i don,t know if that went into production or not

I have noticed this year that more sites have 10 amps rather than 16 this is a simple mod for them just change to a lower rated MCB result instant saving..

Must admit, I have too.  It doesn`t present a problem even in cold weather (I don`t have gas heating) but if it got any lower . . . . .breakfast time could be cool for kats
