Novice question - Electric kettle for use in the T6

[E7DER]

Apologies for the basic question, I cant get my head around if I can use an electric kettle from the house in the T6 camper or have to buy a low voltage kettle. I like the look of the collapsible electric kettle.

Thanks

A low wattage (rather than low voltage) kettle is great for when you’re on hookup, but to be honest, I just use gas to save carrying two kettles.

When on hookup we use a small 1500w electric kettle as most camping sites supply between 10-16A otherwise we use gas.
12v kettles are useless takes ages and flatten your batteries.

I've been to a site near Snowden and the hook up is only 6A.

Thanks for the speedy replies and recommendations, I will stick with gas.

I've got the 600w Swan. Pulls about 50a from the battery via the inverter and takes about 6 minutes to boil 0.5l so 10 brews uses about 50-55ah. I use it now and again when driving around but if you spend a few days camped up you would need solar to make this work.
On hookup it would use about 3a.

Get a Diesel hob, Wallas or Webasto. You won’t look back.

Our gas hob boils a kettle of water pretty quickly.
