Back from our travels, thanks to LadyJ for the organisation and to Warners for such a good pitch. We had a good time, despite the occasional rain. I hope everyone got home safely
Ciao tutti, well I can get online again now that I've picked up a FOC wifi link. Many thanks to all I met in in Lincoln, which I enjoyed immensley in spite of the cold weather. A special thanks to Lady J and John, who always put a lot of work in and make us all feel really welcome, and to Artona for the supermatkey lift. If I'd known it was an option would have gladly volunteered to help on the MHF stand.
Am now road legal for another 12 months after a great deal of expense, but absolutely impeccable help and service from Camper UK in Lincoln. Worth travelling 2000 miles for the experience!
Oh, and I did buy a new toy or two - a Wavebox portable microwave, which is already proving itself a good investment.
A couple of days in Gogledd Cymru VFR, and then back to the sun.
saluti,

Ciao Pete,
well I'm not too well up on amps/volts/watts etc. but I do know that it will probably pull to much power at 12 volts, as it requires 20 amps at 12 volts and most 12 volt points eg. cig lighter, are rated at max. 16 amps. It has been suggested I put a 20 amp fuse on it, but don't fancy/or trust that.
The crocodile clips for attaching directly to a 12v. battery are a non starter as far as I am concerned - too messy and impractical as my leisure batteries are hidden away not easily accessable. Might be OK for others though.
So, when not on hookup go through my 1500 W. inverter, and when on hookup directly into a 3 or 2 pin plug.
Trying it out at Lincoln, through the inverter, it took about 4 minutes to cook some prepared vegetables in their microwave bag. Also about 3 mins to heat up a mug of water sufficiently to make a coffee.
For me it's fine, and the internal volume capacity is OK for a couple.
I wouldn't want to rely on a microwave for a full meal anyway. It also takes up very little space, and is light enough to set up or put away without any hassle. All in all a new toy that I am pleased with. Whether or not Donna C. will approve when I get home remains to be seen though!
All the best to everyone,
saluti,
eddied
