EHU To Household 3 Pin 13amp Socket

I'm not aware of any such adjustment......

However you will need an adaptor lead (blue caravan type socket to 13A plug). You could make one yourself or buy them on ebay or from your local caravan shop....

Just be careful what you use, but 13A should be more than plenty in a M/H.....

We have a similar arrangement at home and I have never made any adjustment, even if I knew how. We have a few times at Christmas stayed in the van in our back garden when we have had a house full of guests and never experienced any issues. The only things we have tended not to use in such circumstances is the TV and low wattage kettle. The heating, hot water and fridge have all been on.

We have also used caravan when we have had house guests. We have a double bed in spare room, our double bed and in the study a sofa bed that can also be a double. When we have had two couples and a singleton staying or three couples we have used the caravan. 13 amp gives about 3kw as opposed to 3.5 or so for 16 amp (round figures). As we also run a freezer in the garage where we plug into on the same gang socket I set heating to 1kw and carry on as normal.

Actually I don't know why we bothered turning heating to 1kw as I am quite happy to use 2kw with fridge and battery charges/lights before we go on our December trip and when we slept in caravan did not cook or use kettle etc.

On many foreign sites you may only get 3, 6 or 10 amps and there is no need to change anything on a control panel (even if there was such an adjustment) its just that you will not be able to run as much at once and as ET says above your max power will be around 3kw.  

Thanks to one and all for replies. When we on a site that uses less than 16 amp I adjust the control panel to the same ampage. That way if I accidently overload the MH the site trip box trips rather than the MH.

That is nice to be able to adjust the trip in the caravan. I have never heard of such a device, but it would be wise to use it as an overload on site merely means resetting a trip somewhere, whereas an overload on a 13 ampere household plug means dismantling to replace the fusible link.

Interesting to know how you change the setting on the control panel, what van do you have? 

Surely the idea is that it does trip in the van, this, I thought, is so you are able to reset it yourself rather than possibly the staff having to do this at the bollard if it trips there.

Remind me not to share a bollard with you!
