I'll push to get another 5 hook-ups wired-in, Jetskier, I guess the colder weather will mean more people want them.

If possible i can use my splitter on the leccy, i am a light user so another light user could possibly plug into the splitter as well.

I was thinking of building 5 splitters, DBO, that way I can do them at home, and take them over. (I'd make one side of the split mebbe 5mtrs long). The circuit I put in at the farm will take the load, and it's a less permanent solution.
If one or two
have splitters, then mebbe we can manage by doubling up with them.

If I get around to getting my electrics fitted on the bongo, I should have an outlet that someone can plug into.

The splitters i have ,two of them, have three plugs on each one ,so three peeps could plug into them if they have long enough leads.
they look like this one on evilbay.

Nice 1 DBO. If we ran a lead away from the fence, with your three way on the end, it would get three people hooked up - I just wonder if the mains will take it!

Mebbe just using two of them might be the answer.

If most people are running fan heaters they'll be pulling a few Amps each - I can just see it first thing in the morning when everyone plugs their electric kettles in - you won't be needing fireworks
We might have to issue a bit of guidance to avoid killing the supply altogether

Electric kettles would be a definite no-no

, unless one person boiled all the water for the shared hook-up

I'm sure we can all use gas to heat our water for tea/coffee

and use a bit of common sense with the rest.

A long trek for me too but I am up for it, with lecky on a spltter if needed. I promise to use the gas ring and spare kettle to boil water for my early morning cuppa. That's if I manage to get up early after the excesses of the night before.

No problem - they serve brekkie between 07.00 and 10.00

, just after the bar closes
