That's different, Yertiz. The EV, when we get it, will be plugged in overnight when other electric appliances are not needed because of being in bed asleep!

You make sure that you get your moneys worth out of the club Malcolm.

So no heating, fridge, or tea in the middle of the night then.

Other people who may have older caravans with mostly gas appliances may be able to survive on 10 amps, however, for us, even 16 amps is not enough!

No problem here with a modern caravan. 

Fridge can be turned off at night ......... caravan will be cool enough anyway most nights 

I suppose gas could be used for a brew 

Oh dear, I'm feeling rather ancient and old fashioned.

In our caravan we "only" have a standard gas cooker (4 rings, gas and oven). We use this to boil the kettle, make toast, cook all our meals (hob and oven). No electric appliances cluttering up the more than ample workspace.

Exactly, EasyT. With £2500 a year saving on petrol, perhaps the occasional £25 cylinder of gas might become more affordable!

Well, Goldie, gas is a bit more versatile and controllable than electric so better for cooking than electric, IF you can afford it!

I suppose what we are all forgetting Malcolm that you use your caravan for living in 24/7, caravan sites are your main and only residence.

Have you thought about charcoal barbecues for summer cooking.

Sorry pointless question, you have paid for the electric.

Hope we don't get a scorching summer, and balmy nights.

It is hardly a major expense in the scheme of things Malcolm. We only use gas for cooking, everything else runs of the EHU, unless there is a power cut. Even using the oven frequently, our £25 worth of gas still lasts over a year. It will of couse also heat your van, thus allowing you to turn off the heating and charge the car. It might not always be at night you want to charge it, if you have used it in the day prior to going to work.
