Do I need a 240v hookup?

[Baldrick]

Hi all

I'm new to all this and would appreciate some advice.

Is is worth the effort to fit (or get someone else to fit) a 240v hookup? Would it be better to spend the money on a better leisure battery?

Thanks

I have just got one of the portable hook ups that justs has 3 sockets on the end with a breaker. Cost about £60 new from a caravan shop. 8)

easy's suggestion is probably the best solution all round if you need real power, but my suggestion is to live more simply! :mrgreen:

I do this and just have the power sockets in the awning.

I have a leisure and 240 hook up. When on a camp site I find it really useful for using a heater etc. Easy's option is a pretty good idea
