Hi all,
hoping someone can help me with this question from novice at both motor homes and electrics. We are going to France this year with our Fiat Ducato rollerteam 2005 motor home, and I am bringing a 25 meter electric cable, 2 x 10 meter cables one with "Irish" type sockets in it, one with the normal round side, an EU adapter cable (has EU plug at one side), and an Irish adapter ("Irish" plug one side). I will also bring splitter box. So 25 meter cable will go from campites EHU into the splitter box. Then 10 meter cable will come out of the splitter box into our awning to provide Irish type plugs for it. The other 10 meter will go from splitter to the motor home.
I plan to bring a new small TV with Irish plug on it, an electric BBQ, and also looking to bring low voltage electric heater. (also saw a really good low voltage oven for making pizzas, may bring that!).
Is everything I am doing looking alright? Should I bring anything else to make sure I have appropriate electrical requirements? Both campsites we are going to are 10 amp, is this enough amperage for my electrical needs - say to put on TV and heat at night time, some lights and nothing else?
Lastly, in terms of electrical connections, has anyone had issues where they damaged their electrics on the continent because of electrical incompatibilities etc?
This and any other electrical advice gratefully accepted.
