Any recommendations for a small(ish) electric kettle for a VW campervan - only for one person, so mainly for making drinks and washing up. 

Am I asking too much for it to be small enough to store, low enough wattage AND not too slow to boil??

 

many thanks in advance

If you do go for one, make sure it is cordless. Our first was corded and in limited room that was a liability.

Not sure that I totally agree Steve. Whether cordless or corded the base has the same footprint and I find corded easier to pack away.

I meant more that it was easy to catch the plug and wire on something / around something when you put it back. I suppose it depends on if you unplug it before pouring.

Thanks all for your responses.   I do have one I use on gas but when on EHU I thought I might as well use the electric!

I have a travel kettle that was a wedding present that's been used all round the Med and in several vans. Still going strong after 25 years.

We use a 1ltr 750w kettle, takes a while to boil but its not really a problem, there are other things to do rather than watching the kettle boil when camping.

I have also seen collapse type kettles for sale with the element in the base, great if you are short of storage space.

I suppose it all depends on the relative positioning of plug socket, kettle, tap and sink and the brew stationwink
