thank you, we have been vigilant about only using one appliance at a time, the only thing that is on constant is the caravan fridge

Thanks for the reply. Apologies for my ignorance, this is all new to us, we have camped for years but never with EHU. The hook up is at a post with an electric box towards the top. There is only one box and this has 2 green switches in it. We have a single hook up attached and the caravan behind has a splitter with one lead going to the caravan and the other into their awning where we can see they have a full size fridge freezer, amongst other small appliances. Every time our electric has tripped the one green button in the box is in the down position and is reset by pushing up. We have only once seen them resetting their switch but then they are closer to the hook up so may be doing it before we get there. We have only ever had the one thing running at a time other than the caravan fridge which is always on. If we put the heating on we run it on 1KW and do not use anything else whilst it is on. We have a gas kettle, a small TV, and I will use a hairdryer in the mornings but make sure everything else is off. There is always power to the microwave so the clock part is illuminated, should I be switching this off as well. We charge our phones with a 12V charger. We havent got any other electric items other than the lights. It is going to be hard if we cannot run a TV when the heating is on in the colder months, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
