At first I smiled when reading the OP question re the 13 amp socket - then I got to wondering - as you do...... not that many years ago we would have smiled, if not sniggered, at the suggestion of mobile phones, Ipods and wireless gizmos in general - now we just take all that technology for granted.
So, why not wireless 240v supply? Is it that much more hairbrained than some of the other things we have around us now? Maybe not in my lifetime but I wouldn't just write it off as a no-hoper.
Just think how many more bottles of wine you could get in your lockers if you didn't have to lug around half a mile of ehu cable!
I wonder if somewhere someone is working on a small, silent diesel (or otherwise fuelled) fuel cell combined with 240V generator with the facility to store a goodly amount of the energy produced. Then you could forget gas cylinders, forget 3 way fridges and heaters/boilers and go all mains electric (not my favourite for hobs though) for everything.

I'm beginning to wonder whether the OP is OK.
She still hasn't picked up my PM from yesterday lunchtime and prior to that she was keen to get her issues sorted.
We'd previously corresponded whilst she purchased her Compact as she'd asked my advice as an owner of the same model. I even made a vain attempt to sell her mine!
I'm wondering whether she's carried out her 'threat' to visit Premier, who were the original supplier of the van when new. That's a 160 mile round trip that isn't really necessary as none of her issues are problems, it's just that she hasn't had a full handover to explain how things work. Having said that if she has gone to Premier then I know from experience last year that they're very nice people and they'll look after her I'm sure.
Ironically I phoned them yesterday, as they're an Adria dealer and asked them to quote me a value for buying my Compact.
What has happened to the OP is that I have been at a hospice with my dying friend and haven't had time to check back here for all your kind messages of help, which I'm about to do now.
Thanks for the assistance - thanks to you guys I have found out that there are other dealers (closer) than Premier Motorhomes.
Which is just as well, as Premier have agreed to do me an instruction / handover of the vehicle but at a cost of £210.
Then also on top of that would be the cost of a service (which is due soon) and the cost of any repairs (eg to the pump) which they would get if I went to them, but perhaps it is better to find somewhere more convenient as I have a choice.
