What's this socket for?

[hotpod]

ha.
you mean one of these pie warmers...





There was one under the double passenger seat in the panel van when i bought it. It had been a builders van in Stockholm. It was missing the metal tins but that didn't bother me as it is the perfect size for two standard Cornish pasties. It can heat them properly from cold in 20 minutes or just keep them nicely warm all day. Lucy bought me some aluminium tins which fit and slow cooked a stew one evening which we ate at the beach. We had to jump start the van after that though...best used whilst the engine is running.
I have yet to find a good place to put it in the camper or the doka. Under the double passenger seat was definitely the best place for it.

I've got the plug in bit, on the rear bumper



And the output bit in the cab. I WANT A PIE OVEN!!!!!

All that's under my seat is a busted heated seat element. The pre-heat for the ebber is fubared too. All the gear no idea!

Thanks for the photos, and details, interesting stuff indeed

Can anyone with one of these power sockets on the exterior of their T25 confirm that a standard caravan female couple will plug in to it? Reason I ask as I would like to make a longer lead you see, but here the cost of these Defa plugs is shocking, and if a female caravan couple will fit, job's a goodun.

Male plug on my Syncro.. (Not visible is the notch near the large round pin).

don't know about the plug but how much are the pie ovens ?

not than I'm from Wigan or owt

[hotpod]

there is a sensible one which looks like a fishing tackle box which is £40 from the uk.
if you buy the one similar to mine on ebay it works out at around £60 including shipping from the states.
must be cheaper than that to ship one from sweden.
then you can have hot pies daily when you are out and about.

i only used mine a few times but a piping hot post surf pasty made me the envy of all my mates.

Finally a justification for flying to Finland . Might not have my 4x4 sorted yet but I am wired for pie!
