Inverter socket to three pin adaptor?

[WelshGas]

My slow cooker is 120 watts so should be OK

I know, but @B J G mentioned using a U.K. Extension with Euro plug so you could plug more things in. Still limited to 150 watts total.

Won't fit the Cali inverter socket.

Thought there may be a reason. How is John managing?
I used the 79p version in my T4 Cali, but times move on.

Found one of these http://comfortzleisure.co.uk/electrical/4588098673 (third item listed) but was hoping it was a little cheaper/more compact!

I have one of those...they are very big and clumbersone. I still haven't found what you want.....and have ended up making my own. Lots of the electrical gadgets we get have a European plug that can be bodged

Our toothbrush charger came ready with a hexagonal plug would you believe, so we now have to use a converter Hex-to-UK in the house in the UK....... When you want them they are never there.... OK in the van though!

Loads of adaptors for sale on amazon or probably at the local poundland supermarket.

Indeed true but not quite what I am looking for - I will keep hunting!

@Jabberwocky Could you post a picture of this inverter socket please?

@johntowers46 , I would post pic if I had the item bt sadly I am still looking. What I am after is a compact Euro (hexagon style) plug to UK 3 pin socket that will fit in the Cali inverter socket.

Sorry if not clear but I meant a picture of the socket that you wish to put plug into

One of these: (not all together, just one of them)

After two attempts I have finally found one that fits and does the job perfectly, also handy for taking on holiday

So my answer to the inverter socket problem has just arrived in the post. It's an angled euro plug with enough flex to decide what I need when my van arrives and I'll then stick a uk socket on the end.

I made one of those but have not found a use so far due to 300w limit of inverter. I do use inverter to charge my camera batteries but had a Euro cable for that charger so it needed no adapter

This is what I need to power my little dehumidifier. It is the IEC c7 at one end? Where did you buy from?

I got it from https://www.partsdata.co.uk/power-c...rd-for-europe-euro8-plug-both-sides-angled-5m it was 11,90 Euros plus crazy priced postage but I figured it was worth it to have it angled and reduce the amount it gets knocked and not have a big adapter plug plus uk plug hanging out of such a flimsy hole.

Here's another solution I just had delivered from Alibaba (ordered it ages ago just after this discussion last time round but, since it comes from China, it's only just arrived!). It's really neat as it has a small plug with cable out of the side so doesn't hang out of the socket and risk getting knocked or damaging the socket itself. It has both uk plug plus 4 USB sockets which will give up to 4.2A if you're just using one of them - so quicker charging than lots of the other cigarette lighter jobs I've had before. Small things to keep me amused while waiting for our van to get out VW jail !

Don't forget the two pin socket is only rated at 150 watts + 230 volts and that's only 0.65 amps, anymore than this and you will overload the socket.

A waste of power and unnecessary battery drain using this in your inverter when a simple cigar USB adapter would be easier and cheaper..

It's not for the USB we use it, it's for the square pin socket and the angled plug into the wall. Also though the other one I showed earlier in that thread is probably even better but a little bigger
