I have a constant 1000W and it draws 0.8 Amp before anything is plugged it. But have to side with those above, best to splash out on a decent 12V - Lap...

Re: rear seat belts.

Hey Willoughby, in your pic2 on photobucket I see a fixing to the van floor, was that hole already there or did you drill it? Cheers. Hi My 'van' came from the factory with windows in the back, so all the fittings were there. I didn't need to drill any holes. :D If the fittings are easily welded in...

Re: 12v fridge to 240v

If the 12V is working, just get a 240V to 12V transformer.

You will only need a 10A one,

Then you can have the fridge on 12V via relay when Driving, On hook up when on site and Gas at shows or when no mains about.

And you don't have to touch the fridge.
