Cost of EHU at CLs

That only works out at 27.3 kW hours. It wouldn't be that difficult to consume that in 24 hours.

wow!!!! that seems like a lot of lecce in 24 hours, whilst in Spain this year we used less than 7kw per day and we only used the gas for bbq and some cooking in doors, ok we very seldom used the heater and we do not watch television, you were allowed 7kw per day averaged out over your stay, we stayed 2 months

A heater running at 1Kw for 24 hours only leaves 3.3Kw for running the fridge lights etc. With little to no heating my van uses about 4Kw hours a day. My van insulation is quite good and and it is very unliklely that even on a 2KW setting I would use 24Kw hours, even so, as BB says, I would heat by gas. It is more efficient and the current cost is £0.599p.l.when I filled up two days ago. If you have a Country Wide depot near you it is even cheaper.

peedee

It is more efficient

you mean cheaper perhaps, not more efficient in transfer of energy for heating.

A gas kettle when I was an apprentice at SEG was a gas fired kettle with a built in burner with a flexible rubber lead that was connected to the gas supply  not a kettle that could be used on the hotplates 

Hardly a fair comparison if you were not using the heating. In winter temperatures most folk would. I don't like to be cold and I think it very likely we would have consumed that in our caravan with the Alde heating. We certainly wouldn't have been using gas, as we might now, calor would have been far too expensive.

It does depend on wind plus temperature. Also on how warm you like the van. During the beast from the east our Alde on 2kw didn't seem to switch off. So I don't find it that unlikely that it could be on for a third of the time in more normal winter temperatures,

Early April in Scotland, freezing overnight and sleet and snow with a chill wind during the day and the caravan managed fine on 1kw

Depends what you call a fine temperature ET. It might be different to my definition.😀

steve, good point on costs....we (all) pay plenty for our electric on site (whether built in to the price, hence club/commercials being the level they are) or gas when purchased by the (typical Calor) bottle.

being able to buy gas by the litre (at 1/4 price) has allowed folk to be freed of these high prices and use gas without worrying about the ongoing cost of long term electric add-ons.

of course, if touring just for the odd weekend and a week here and there, overall costs dont kick as hard and might be borne without too much concern.

for those who need power for far longer periods, cost/freedom/flexibility come further up the priority list.

we dont have an electric hotplate and are happy with gas for the hob and oven, with gas heating giving far quicker warm up yet the ability to be used as a trickle background heat when required.

22c daytime/evening (maybe 23 on occasion) and 16c overnight (maybe 17c on occasion). Measured on thermometer in middle of caravan. Washroom would be warmer than that.
