We used to have a larger touring van (5 berth) some years ago now and had some good times with it, so hopefully this will be the same for myself and Annie. As to the power situation, well that has come on a long way, my own can run off mains 240 volt and many sites offer up to 16 Amp so plenty of power available, but you do need to moderate what you use to avoid tripping the breakers. Yes it does have its own built in breakers for the mains power
and it can also run some stuff such as lights, water pump for the taps and the fridge off the 'leisure battery' which is 120 Amp/hour so fairly powerfull. The 'motor mover' also runs off this battery and makes life easier as you can just drive the caravan into position without it being on the car, very usefull as you get older.
The fridge is also 3 way which means it can run on either the battery power (when towing) or calor gas or mains power when parked up. The tow bar electrics are also very sophisticated and can interact with the caravan 12 volt battery to keep it charged up or to suppliment it power wise from the car if needed, but it has built in cut-outs that prevent the vehicle battery from going below a certain voltage. The fixed oven and grill plus the space heater are also gas operated, so all in all it should be possible to get by in all situations. For everything to be home from home a 240 v hookup is desirable, but you can get by very well using the liesure battery and the gas supply if you were in the middle of nowhere.
I assume that to run all that power you need to plug into a site power socket?
