Campsite AC Monitor

“I packed my bag and in it I put…”

Published in issue 390, June 2009

Those of you who go camping regularly will have experienced this before: you switch on a powerful electric hob just when the fridge is on and the campsite fuse blows. It’s a pain because the campsite manager usually has to be called to replace or reset the fuse and the excercise can cost a lot of money. This campingsite AC monitor makes these occurrences a thing of the past.
