Inverter socket to three pin adaptor?

[Jabberwocky]

HI All, I have a 120 watt slow cooker and want to plug it into the inverter socket behind the passenger seat. I don't want to change the plug so I am looking for an adaptor. "Funny" shaped Euro socket to 13amp plug (but running at max 0.65 amps.
Anybody know of such an adaptor and where I can get one?

Hi Andy, thanks for this solution. I had been trying to avoid this but it looks as if I wont be able to as a compact single plug/socket solution seems rather elusive.

Thanks for help. Odd that the site name is only shown as stars! I will have a look for the thread you quoted and see if I can access it there.

Found one of these http://comfortzleisure.co.uk/electrical/4588098673 (third item listed) but was hoping it was a little cheaper/more compact!

Camper van tastic is treated as a swear word on this forum.

Why, not used them myself but are they not recommended?

 

[Jabberwocky]

That's odd as they do not even sell what I am looking for. Anyway I found this mini device which will do the trick. Small, very versatile but a little expensive at £14.20 plus VAT but a lot less than the camper van tastic solution.

I must admit I was wondering why a 79p one of those wouldn't suffice John!

Just a small bit of info. I found that these give reversed live-neutral polarity. Just try a polarity check to be sure.

Other method is to take a British extension lead and put a French plug on the end. That way you can have as many outlets as required. Most have a few kicking about already.

Just be careful you don't damage the Inverter as it is only 150 watts output.

Won't fit the Cali inverter socket.
