Great stuff again.
Thank you. I do like your videos. Easy to understand, you also do your research.
Thanks. That is what we do. The research is key to providing the detail. Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you very much for posting this video.
Thanks for watching and your support.
Useful info as usual, we've got the low wattage kettle and toaster which I think are the essential items although our toaster is a bit like Arkrights till and will launch the toast in any direction once cooked! Our coffee machine is a pod type and we haven't had any issues on a site with only a 10amp hook up, but that's probably because we don't have other appliances on at the same time
Thanks, that is the trick. Knowing what is on at the same time. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant mate👌🏻
Thanks 🙏
Great advice, very useful as I’ve tripped the electric once before. Yep I used the toaster, kettle and microwave at the same time. I know better now. Thanks
Thanks. It’s all in them pesky amps.
Thanks for a brilliant video and the best explanation I've seen! It's a relief that I won't be looking like something from the Hair Bear Bunch on site now!! 😆
Thanks for your support Lisa. It is really appreciated. A huge thanks for the “coffee” too. Very nice of you. The “Help! It’s the Hair Bear Bunch…” Wow that just took me right back!
@@LiveforTravel 🤣 Jon has the same hairstyle as you, Paul, so never understands all the fuss 😉
😂😬
I found this very interesting, many thanks for providing us with the information
Thanks for watching and your support.
I was always under the impression you could run anything whilst on hookup similar to electric in your house. I haven't been anywhere with hook up yet so wasn't aware of the limitations
The National Grid is likely putting 100 amps into your home. Maximum at a campsite is typically 16 amps. Some are 10 amps or less.
@LiveforTravel I had a reply back from a campsite I'm going to and they say their supply is 12 volts which I think they mean amps
@@samanthalemmon7576 it certainly won’t be 12v. A 12 amp supply will give you a maximum of 2760 watts.
Ordered a low wattage toaster….. enjoy the commission!
Thanks for watching… and the commission 😁
Can you plug in an electric car, to trickle charge on a granny charger that you would use at home (a
3 pin plug)
Most vehicle manufacturers limit the current drawn from a standard domestic 3 pin socket to 10A or less, which equates to a maximum of 2.3kW. Therefore, it depends on what the site uses and whether they restrict the use for charging an EV.
When you say the 3 pin wokt wprk with out it being plugged in what do you mean ? My citroen relay works when plugged in or not ? All you have to do is turn on the inverter and i can use the 3 pin plus to chatge my laptop even if thats vans on electric hook up or not ?:)
That would be as you have an inverter. These vans, like most, do not come with one.
Ahh okay bud :) I'm new to it all this is my first campervan :)
No worries.
How does electric hook up actually work?
In what regard? On a campsite that has an electric hook up, which can vary in the amount of watts/amps available, plugging in your van energises the 3 pin plug sockets in the van and usually helps to keep the leisure battery/batteries charged too.
