Just can't imagine paying to have a pizza delivered when I can get one from the freezer and pop it in the oven, then have a scoop while waiting.laughing

It might be better to do a card payment, Metheven, either online or on the phone. Then you won't have to stand at the door in the cold fiddling about with change and the chance that your food is getting cold whilst this delay is going on! I find my job is much easier and quicker when the shop takes the payment from the customer by card. Fiddling about with change at the door takes time and slows down the delivery service.

As I said Malc, it is the village Pizza outlet and for ours card payment is not an option. Cost is given to you over the phone and the delivery person only accepts cash, worth using as the food quality is way above the bigger concerns I have tried.

Perhaps I have more money than you or maybe I'm wasteful, perhaps I don't care or perhaps I just fancied one without the bother of cooking..wink

Well, like many, I use a 10 amp site from time to time. If on a non CC site I usually enquire what amperage they provide. If it is 10 amp my heating is put on 1kw. No problem

I think the food quality is likely to be much better than buying a frozen pizza from the supermarket even if you use brand names like Pizza Hut because the food is freshly prepared on the premises, according to order and cooked using professional ovens.

It might not be enough in winter in freezing conditions, especially in a large caravan with a lot of space to heat, EasyT!

I doubt that you were at North Ledaig in mid winter Malc. smile

My outfits over the last 12 years have generally been around 5.4m internal 7m shipping and so, yes, shorter than yours. I know that when I had blown air up until 6 years ago I found it difficult to regulate and would run on 1kw overnight less I wake up in a sweat in mid December. When I had a problem with the fluid mix on the previous Alde I had to use 1kw during our two week December break as the system was kettling on 2kw. Tose were temperatures down to freezing. If it had been -14C as on one winter then I would doubtless have needed to use 2 kw and boiled water for a brew on gas. Also knock it down to 1 kw at meal times but then cooking would have replaced the lost heat.

Sometimes we order a takeaway pizza, sometimes we cook a bought pizza, sometimes we make our own from scratch.

Also on the EHU point, we sometimes use sites with only a 10 amp supply because the site is where we want to be, like many we also have gas on board and are not afraid of using it if we need to, even in winter ..... wink

I don't believe we are that unusual. innocent
