can I use domestic vacuum cleaner on EHU? or will it blow a fuse??

[kp64zl]

I'd like to vacuum the van with our domestic vacuum cleaner that's rated at 1900-2200 W

would that be OK if I plug the van in through EHU (into domestic electricity supply) or am I risking blowing a fuse.

the alternative is to trail a long electric lead from the house and not get involved with the van's electrics

any thoughts appreciated

I think I'd like a portable hand held vacuum now

any recommendations please?

the Dyson one looks awesome but reviews seem mixed (some say only lasts 5 minutes on battery)...

We’ve had a couple, you do have to be quick with them!

I now take the Dyson V8 with me on every trip. It keeps the carpets clean in most situations. The dustpan and brush method was frustrating and ineffective.

Reading all this makes me again wonder if there's maybe something wrong with me ....should i do a visit to the docter.....

If the EHU is plugged into your Home domestic electricity supply, normally about 13 amps, then you can use appliances upto 2,500 watts without any problems.
On a campsite it may be less as most supplies are either standard 13 amps or 10 or 6 amps, particularly on the Continent. So take care.

Personally I just use a stiff brush, out the door. Worked for the last 4 years.

Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good Cali vacuum preferably cordless.

I have a springer spaniel who creates a lot of mess.
I have a turtle mat down but still get quite a bit of grit.
