That should be fun with a 6amp supply, Roger.

Rarely have the problem. We've stayed at 5amp camp sites. It's only the same as powering the awning through the van, just more straighforward. The only thing to watch is that the electric kettle, the toaster or the induction hob are never on at the same time.

Hi there
We have lived in the Costa del Sol for more than 8 years and yes the temperatures can get high especially during July/August. Before buying our Eriba which at the moment is based in the UK , we had a motorhome in Spain and never had a problem with the dried foods in the cupboards.
Can't think of a way to cool down your cupboard. Just have to do as the Spanish do ......... Shop daily? Although I know this is not ideal when travelling.
Good luck

Ref the underbed locker.....yes I do have one but I would rather not leave it open all the time. So in order to have power in the awning the outside socket can be used while the locker stays shut.

I open the locker and plug in the extension lead while it's in use then unplug and close it when it's no longer required.

What am I missing, Tony?

I realise that this will come over as brusque, rude and a bit Yorkshire, old chap, but please treat is a genuine quest for enlightenment from a fellow admin team member.

The lights themselves are easy enough to get, but the shrouds took some chasing down in Germany and needed to be painted white.
Those lights are really smart, Pete. But why was there a problem obtaining them? The Jokon UK website shows the SPL2000-MS lights with white shrouds. Couldn't they put you in touch with a UK stockist?

What you are missing is the requirement to run something continually such as a fridge in the awning or lighting or a cool box which may be left running even when we are out and about.
There is also the fact that we use the Troll all year round but still try to cook outdoors. Mrs P has often complained about her bed area being very cold because the locker was left open so we now have power and the locker can be left shut.

Thanks, Tony. That has satisfied my curiosity and were we in a similar position, I'd doubtless do the same as you.

I rang Jokon GB, mate. The person I spoke to (and I use the word person with some reluctance) was so curt, unhelpful and patronising that I hung up and resolved never to ring them again.

Every now and then you speak to someone somewhere who is having a bad day. Someone whose cat has just died, or whose wife (or husband) has run off with the next-door neighbour, or whose son has just wrapped the family car round a lamp post. You can understand these things, and cut them a bit of slack.

The arse at Jokon GB was different. He was just a miserable b*stard.

I got some on eBay.de in the end. I just searched using the part number and Robert ist Bruder deiner Mutter.

Ah, another Yorkshireman. That explains it.
