Teppanyaki grill for a caravan

Updated: 16.10.2026

You have a blue bollard, a kettle already in the van, and a 2,000 W plate for breakfast without charcoal. This page decides whether that teppanyaki grill for a caravan trips the hook-up. On 16 A one plate can run if the kettle is off. On 10 A it is the main load. On 6 A it does not fit. The [teppanyaki grill comparison](/hub/portable-grills/teppanyaki-grill) is the nine amazon.co.uk plates, at 1,800 W, 2,000 W or 2,200 W. The Products Compared editorial team used those listings and Camping and Caravanning Club notes on 16 October 2026. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What these plates draw

Divide the stated watts by 230 V and you get a rule-of-thumb current, not a measured load. At that sum, 1,800 W is about 7.8 A, 2,000 W is about 8.7 A, and 2,200 W is about 9.6 A. The Camping and Caravanning Club use the same sum: a 10 A pitch is about 2,300 W for everything on it, and a 16 A pitch is about 3.68 kW. A 13 A kitchen socket is a different budget. Boska is the 2,200 W listing. Quest XL, Quest XXL and MisterChef state 1,800 W. The others in this set state 2,000 W. A figure of about 8.3 A divides 2,000 W by 240 V. Use 230 V for the pitch sum. The caravan's own breaker can be tighter.

16 A, 10 A, and 6 A pitches

Club pitches are often 10 A or 16 A. The Caravan Club says nearly all of its sites are 16 A, which is not every UK campsite. On 16 A, about 3.68 kW, a single 2,000 W plate leaves room on paper until a kettle or a heater is on. On 10 A, about 2,300 W in total, the plate is most of the pitch. A 2,000 W plate plus a kettle is the trip. A 6 A pitch is about 1,380 W at 230 V. Caravan Talk callers treat 1,800 to 2,000 W as too much for 6 A, and this set has no lower-watt plate. MotorhomeFun's thread on a 2,000 W hotplate is owner experience when little else is on, not a site regulation.

How campers in the reviews use them

Reviews here describe hook-up breakfasts, and they are not a ranking. Quest Large reviews mention motorhome and caravan breakfasts. The 1.43 kg and 2.5 kg clash does not change the 2,000 W. Geepas bullets say indoor or outdoor, and a review says the instructions say indoor only, so read the leaflet before you treat it as a pitch plate. MisterChef's spec says indoor while the bullets also name camping and caravans. Boska's bullets describe a kitchen counter, and one of eight reviews mentions a hook-up. At 2,200 W it has the least spare capacity, compared with a 1,800 W MisterChef on the same 10 A pitch. If the worry is smoke rather than amps, that is the indoor teppanyaki grill page.

Plug, rain, and the lead

The appliance plug goes into the caravan's own socket. It should be a UK three-pin BS 1363 plug. The blue connector on the grass is the hook-up, to BS EN 60309-2, and it belongs on the site lead, fully uncoiled. Do not hang the plate on the bollard. Scorch marks mean you stop. A coiled reel under load heats the cable. Rain on the plate is a separate fault from a tripped breaker. One LIVIVO replacement arrived with a two-pin plug. Do not rewire a moulded plug. Emperial prints 200 V and MisterChef prints 220 V. Read the rating plate before you cook. That check sits on the buying guide.

Common questions

Will 2,000 W trip a 16 A pitch?
Not by itself. A 16 A pitch is about 3.68 kW, and 2,000 W is about 8.7 A. The trip comes when you add a kettle or a heater. The van's own breaker can be lower than the bollard.
What about a 10 A pitch if the heater is already on?
A 10 A pitch is about 2,300 W for everything. A heater already drawing about 1,000 W leaves too little. Switch the heater off, cook, then put it back. 1,800 W still will not share that pitch with a kettle.
Can you use it on a 6 A pitch?
No. Six amps at 230 V is about 1,380 W. Every plate in this set is 1,800 W, 2,000 W or 2,200 W, so the arithmetic does not fit even with everything else off. Caravan Talk reaches the same conclusion for this class of grill on 6 A. There is no lower-watt teppanyaki in these nine listings.
Do you plug it into the caravan or the blue bollard?
Into a socket in the caravan, with the UK three-pin plug. The blue BS EN 60309-2 connector is the site lead, and that lead should be fully uncoiled. Do not hang the plate on the bollard. If a two-pin plug arrives, send it back.
Can it sit outside in the rain on an extension?
No. Rain on the plate, or a domestic extension left in the wet, is a shock risk, separate from whether the amps fit. Use the plate under cover, with the hook-up lead uncoiled. If the instructions say indoor only, the pitch is the wrong place.
What if the unit arrives with a two-pin plug?
Send it back. Do not fit a BS 1363 plug yourself on a moulded lead. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you 30 days to reject goods that do not conform, counted from the day after an online delivery. Read the rating plate as well if the listing prints 200 V or 220 V.
