Hook up three pin plug question (newbie alert!)

Am really sorry if this is blindingly obvious but can I run a 4 way extension off my three pin plug safely when on hook up? Our van only has one three pin - just wondered if I can plug in a couple of devices, like charging my phone and running a laptop at the same time.
No worries if not. Happy to leave technology at home - just handy sometimes

So long as you keep under the site supply limit. No idea what they are generally as I have only wild camped for the past 40+ years. Who needs to stay on a site? - that's the beauty of a small van you can stop anywhere.

You will be OK! I use extension leads for the awning and for when I run out of available sockets or for powering my tools when working on the van.

Generally stay under 2kw (2000w) and you should be ok.
It's not hard to add extra sockets though.
