Hi all, sorry I haven't visited the site for ages, but I've been looking to buy a motorhome. I've finally found one that suits me (a Swift Mondial RL) at wellsbridge motorhomes.
Now to the point of this thread, electric hookups.
I know if can be difficult to know if you might trip the site's electric when you switch on the kettle and toaster together for breakfast, so here is my solution.
I bought an inline power meter (the Energie ENER007, other brands are available) for about £13 on ebay.
With this, I can see EXACTLY how much power (in Watts and Amps) any appliance is using. I tested all my appliances, then I printed labels with the power drawn by each appliance and stuck them on.
Now if I want to have several appliances on at the same time, I can tally up the total amperage that will be drawn, and ensure that I don't exceed the site's supply.
Works for me, and I hope it will work for you too!:thumb:
