[QUOTE="Russ46, post: 476694, member: 31099"] Quick update. I have plugged in the wife's hair straighteners. They use a 5amp fuse and rated at 47 watts. They got so hot I was unable to hold them and started smoking. This was done with the engine switched on. Have also plugged in a lamp aswell. This seemed to work ok. What makes this so frustrating is we were charged a stupid amount of money to have this installed, which was kindly paid for by a charity. All I want is to be able to run a heated blanket to keep my 6 yr old son warm. He has over come so much, 2 yrs of chemo, didn't work, then 2yrs solid in Hospital. He is now wheel chair bound, blind, unable to talk following a stroke, has suffered a cardiac arrest and beaten a brain tumour. Judging from what some of you have said, I now need to stump up yet another couple of hundred pounds to boot. Off to write a snotty email to OH Mobility to see it they will pay for it. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know. [/QUOTE]
