There has been a major breakthrough in the electronic world on the mid north coast of nsw. After much research, trial and error and guesswork I think I have found the murderer of my electricity. The jug is in custody assisting with enquiries. Under no circumstances should Doug be informed. Thank you all for your collective advice and suggestions and your tolerance of my cerebral challenges in the world of electronics.

Now come on Mate, as if I would say anything that wasn't nice disbelief confuse The only thing I would say is, I told.......nah! I won't say that smile

Glad you sorted the problem, now it's time for a good hot cuppa,

But Doug, if I have a good hot cuppa like you suggested it means I have to use the jug and then I am back to square one annoying the forum again.

The Birko kettle is only stainless inside & it's nice & solidly built & 750 watts if powering from batteries. Disadvantage is that it has to be plugged in which is a bit irritating to move quickly at a greater distance than the power lead, but you get used to it.

This one is really strange. I plugged the power cord into a different mains outlet (but still from the same power board) to check that and then plugged the jug in again (that bloody jug).
This time it tripped the power switch inside the van and not out at the power board.
Meanwhile the fridge, micro and HSW carry on completely and totally regardless. Tell me, as far as power points go, is there only the one circuit that does all the power points and a separate one for the lights or are there multiple one.
Thank God the fridge works as I can have a few beers each afternoon as my head collapses.

It depends on the van maker as to how it is wired, but probably only one 240v circuit, with all outlets/lights in parallel
