A good hookup will give you approx 3 kilowats. The oven and 2 hotplates are each 1500 watts, making a total of 4.5Kw. Thus you would not be able to use all the cooker without tripping out the electric.

Many sites have hookups with lower ratings.

Sorry, it looks a nice idea but just doesn't work.

Perhaps you should get an engineer to look at your cooker? It could be just blocked jets.

Dont want to cause concern, but we had a similar problem a few months back. It turned out that we had a gas leak from the bulkhead pipework in the front locker, which was reducing the gas presure to the oven. This was on our third time out after quite major warranty repairs to the van. On the previous 2 trips we had thought we had used a lot of gas but hadnt noticed a smell. The leak had obviously been getting worse.

Thank you

Thank you for your help up to now.

Looking at it I only would need to use the oven bit so would a oven on its own do.
