Hi all. Still on a steep learning curve before we collect the MH on 11 September. We’re intending to go off grid on a fairly regular basis so have added a second leisure battery and 150w solar panel. But I’m unsure what I need to be able to use the domestic 240v plug sockets in the MH without being on an ehu. Is there an adapter for a domestic plug into the cigarette lighter socket? or do I need an inverter and if so, what size? The main use will be for a Nespresso machine and milk frother - got to keep the better half happy!

any advice would be much appreciated as always.

cheers, Carl
 
Thanks guys. It’s a Citiz machine which requires 1260W. Is that too much for a 1500w inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter? it only takes 2-3 minutes to produce the coffee.
Cig socket just can't provide that sort of amps.
You will be restricted to between 150w and 180w.
For 1250w you will need at least a 2000w inverter wired directly to your batteries to cover the machines start up current which may be 50% more than its running current.
