A 920W toaster draws 4A and fits any hook-up. The trouble is the toaster, the kettle and the heater all going at once, which is exactly what breakfast is.

In winter your heater has first claim on the hook-up and you cannot vent freely. That changes which cooking appliance is the right one. The three compared.

A 180W portable washes a 2kg load in 15 minutes for about 2p. The real question is not running cost, it is storage space and whether you can get things dry.

A 1,000W kettle draws 4.3A and fits any UK pitch. It is the 3,000W kettle from home, and the heater already running, that cause the problem.

Winter damage is caused by water, not cold. The full checklist for draining down, controlling damp, looking after the battery and protecting the outside.

Under 1,000W is the line that keeps an air fryer usable alongside a heater on a 10A pitch. Here is what you give up, and what you do not.

Yes, provided you pick the right wattage. Here is the hook-up maths, what a 900W model cooks, and the safety points that matter in a small space.

Most UK pitches are 16A, 10A or 6A. Here is what each one gives you in watts, what caravan appliances actually draw, and which combinations trip the bollard.
