A simple way to check is that Watts = volts x amps so if you have a 220 - 240 supply and a 16 amps then you can use up to 3520 - 3840 amps. This makes certain assumptions about the length and size of cable and the wiring in your motorhome. If on the other-hand you only have a 5 amp supply then you can only use 1100 - 1200 amps. If you try to pull too much electricity through you will blow a trip somewhere so don't worry too much it will just need to be reset.
Incidentally, as has been mentioned on here many times before, make sure your cable is unwound as heat can build up in the cable if you are pulling maximum power and it can catch on fire.

Bet you don't get theses sort of questions and answers on a caravan forum!
We have witnessed several caravanners who seem to delight in getting every available amp they are paying for!
You know what I mean- outside lights everywhere, electric fire in their awning, big TV, slow cooker, halogen oven, the works!
Good to see an environmental responsibility here on Motorhome Fun!:thumb:
What sort of appliances can I expect to run on site hook up electric? Eg would it run a normal household 850 watt microwave? or a small oil filled radiator? Or a small electric grill that runs of a 13 Amp plug? All replies greatly appreciated.
