It never ceases to amaze me how the manufacturers miss the obvious. Many caravanners are using porch awnings these days and most caravanners would pick a porch that didnt cross the window, i.e. stopping short before the front window.
So why do all the manufactuers put the external socket right under the flipping window which means it will always sit outside of a porch awning. Really, how much thought does it take? In our van, as opposed to its Swift cousin, they have moved the cooker to where the fridge used to be. Its no longer right next to the door, the fridge is, with a nice worktop above it. Somewhere to stand the low wattage kettle. But guess what, the socket is at the other side of the cooker.
This caravan has more sockets than it will ever need, and none of them are where you need them the most.![Angry :angry: :angry:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Rant over.
