Running Fan Heater

Hi All,
I am totally dumb as to what voltage I can safely run in the van when on electric hook-up.
I have recently purchased a small , in size, fan heater from Tesco.
Stats. on box, 1800-2000W 220-240V-50Hz.
Can I use this without blowing the hook-up.
Pardon my ignorance,
Thanks in anticipation. :?:

Re: Bongo meet 1st November Crown Inn Cholderton, Wiltshire

Hi Bob uk,
Just saw your post.

As weather is so nice, am tempted to come along.

Have just phoned pub, and they reckon there are about 30 people going along.

What time are you planning on getting there?

regards Marion

Re: Bongo Fest South West 2014

Again a great week-end. Thanks to Ian and Marianne, not forgetting Carol, for organising it all. Weather was fantastic, and another small area of the Country ticked off. Hi to all the previous friends that I caught up with again, and especially to new friends met. Looking forward to the Fens next mo...

Re: Eastnor Deer Park, Ledbury Fri 26 to Mon 29 Sept 2014

Hi Jilly, Will not be able to make Ledbury. Wanted to let you know in case you need to free up a place. Sadly, my Dad passed on 25th August. 13 days after being diagnosed with bladder cancer. He was at home with us and hospice nurses kept him as comfortable as possible, they were marvellous, so he d...

Re: Eastnor Deer Park, Ledbury Fri 26 to Mon 29 Sept 2014

Hi Jilly,

Hoping to get there, but my Dad's very ill at the moment so not sure what's happening in my world just now.

If numbers aren't limited, I will let you know nearer the time.

Gave you a wave as I passed you on M6.

Best wishes, Marion.

Re: Tough Northerners Summer Camp 7 to 10 August Cumbria

Hi All, We certainly were blessed with the weather. Had it much worse down south. Matt, I followed in your tracks re the gas situation. Despaired over the Sedburgh gas station being shut, went into Kendal rather than risking motorway, found 2 knowledgeable locals who directed me to a gas station and...

Re: Tough Northerners - Beef Chilli and Apple/Rhubarb Crumbl

Hi, I've only just seen this great idea. I seem to be a bit late on providing any food. I've always got a bottle of red wine to contribute. :shock: Will be more than happy to help with the preparation. Will be there by 2pm. Will also be happy to help in the clearing up. Looking forward to it. Marionw.

Re: TV Aerial?

No, haven't got a normal aerial here. We're a Sky household.
The TV wants to set up, it telling me there's no signal.
Have ordered the Avtex aerial. If TV fails to work with that I will look into problem with TV.
Here's hoping,
Marion. :roll:

Re: TV Aerial?

Thanks for the replies.
I will give the Avtex a try.
As to where I was trying the previous aerial out. I was in my sitting room. Tried it in all rooms in the house, but got No Signal showing on the TV.
Thanks again to you all,
Marion

TV Aerial?

Hi All,
I have just taken delivery of a TV/DVD player along with an August DTA240 aerial, which had good reviews, but the TV wasn't picking up any signal with it attached, so the aerial is going back.
Does anyone have any suggestions for aerials that work please?

Re: Cfor

Just read about Cfor, Jilly.
So sorry for your loss, have been there myself in the past.
You need to remember what a great life you gave her, all her outdoor adventures.
Hope to see you in June at Stourport.
Best wishes,
Marion (met you at Port Eynon.)

Re: Welsh Bongo Bash on the Gower

Hi Bev, Glad you got home okay, I reached home about 5.30 after leaving at 2ish, so not bad. Met lots of rain as well. I'd also like to thank everyone for being so friendly and welcoming, on my first, but certainly not last, Bongo meet. Great to meet you all. I was amazed by the sudden appearance of...
