    Well, ya misquoted me!
    Absorption gas fridges are woeful.
    Propane is a more efficient heat source than electric given that elecetricity is probably a gas turbine with conversion and transmission losses.

    It's pretty easy to run a compressor fridge with solar power.

    I think you're right, definitely worth asking. Road is pretty busy in the summer, but slow moving traffic. About 100metres from the truck to the central office of the campsite.



    Which campsite are you thinking of?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Your post confirms that the road is public.

    There is no way you will get permission to put a live cable across a public road.

    The local authority will not allow it.

    My advice is to forget it and concentrate on other options.




    Tis almost like you're hellbent on fearmongering the absolute sh1te out of it before he tries it and nothing happens.


    I really don't understand boards fearmongers. What motivates them? Sitting in their armchair feeling sorry for themselves trying to drag anyone with a bit of go in them down with them.

    OP is looking for a connection without the connection costs

    You'd want a stake in the business to make it worthwhile supplying electricity

    What part of my advice to the OP are you disagreeing with?

    What fear mongering? It's illegal to run a live cable across a road like that. Whatever about safety the op will get reported and have to disconnect the cable and he's then stuck with no power. Op asked a simple question and the answer is also simple. Now he knows and can look into something feasible.

    I was quoting someone else actually, but I can see it took the name out for some reason.

    Well my coffee machine supplier has said the machine I'm ordering can be hooked up with gas and then would just need 300W to run the basic electronic controls. So that would be the bulk of the power taken care of

    I would be happy to pay the connection costs, but because we are not a bricks and mortar building it seems, from this thread, that getting connected directly would be impossible anyway.

    I don't think this is correct. A caravan park need not be a bricks and mortar either yet it can have a connection.

    Call ESB and ask them for a pole connection to a van.

    I have contacted ESB and filled out the form so will see how that goes.

    I know this is a bit of a long shot though!

    Any I have visit tend to have an office, kitchen bathrooms with showers and laundry facilities

    It may only be one building but fixed none the less
