Bought my first caravan today and have spent a ridiculous number of hours on the Internet this afternoon trying to find a site to put it on.  Anyway, have noticed that the electric hook ups are either 10 or 16 amps generally.  Being completely new to the wonderful world of caravanning, and therefore somewhat ignorant, I don't know which is the one for my caravan!  Can anyone please tell me whether all caravans can use either or is it specific?

No it is not caravan specific.

It just means how much electicity is available at that particular hook up.

You should have a rough idea of what you electrical bits need (in amps) so you dont overload and pop the circuit braker.

If you have things that need a lot of electric to run (kettle, toaster and such like) you should only have one on at once.
