I've recently bought my camper and needed to find smaller format stuff than I had with the carvan. I've very pleased with the collapsible kettle I bought for when off grid. https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/16000922/outwell-collaps-kettle-25-litre-16000922. Good job I did get it because the drawers turned out to be a bit shallower than I remembered on viewing the van first time. Good review made me chose this over others which were silicon all way up and prone to collapsing when using.

Forget the TV. Use your tablet/laptop and get the TV via your internet. Surprisingly cheap now and good reception almost everywhere.

I don’t think I have read what electrical spec the OP’s van is, I thought that would be the starting point before offering advice re low wattage kettles etc etc.

You may want to think about not using a kettle We try to see if stuff can have at least 2 uses so use the saucepan for boiling water. Served us well for over 30 years motorhoming - and I do like my tea made with fully boiling water.

Look on gumtree for 2nd hand portable lcd TV...then check the power cables , many are 240v but have a transformer in the cable and the TV is actually 12v .. I've bought at least 5 of these now second hand. The current one is a logic brand I paid £15 for .. 19" with built in dvd. Bought a 12v cable for it off ebay £6


I'd not bother with an electric kettle the gas ones boil quicker and use very little gas .

If you have a grill you also don't need a toaster. Don't be tempted to.buy loads of stuff you don't actually need

Silicone will also degrade over time. A metal kettle can last decades.
