    I'm looking for some electric appliances to save using gas when hooked up to electricity. Was thinking about an oven. Anything else useful? Kettle, double hob maybe? How high max KWS? Any advice would be grateful.

    I see the JML halogen oven (Linky) is 1300W.
    Not sure if that's an issue for a motrohome....

    The watts of an appliance can be the issue, but it depends on the AMPs you are connected to. Some sites are 6amp, others are 10amps.

    To find out how many amps you need, divide the watts by the voltage - so 1300 watts / 240 volts = 5.41 amps. Now you need to work out all the drain you will have at the same time and if that exceeds the connection amps then you will be facing a tripped fuse.

    You have to consider things like TVs / leisure battery charger / lights etc.

    Hope this helps

    As above. Depending on the condition of the leisure battery, it could be taking the most of the amps anyway

    We bought a Remoska cooker in Lakelands in Belfast last year and it is excellent. I thinks it only uses 400w and is a slow cooker but very efficient. Not cheap though. About 100Euro for middle sized one we bought.
