I used to do that with my camper all too often, I got fed up to the back teeth with repairing the socket!. Greg
should have wired up a buzzer or a light in the driving area.
or hang a sign on the steering wheel or have the socket non latching on the rear of the vehicle so if you do drive away it just drops out.

best answer yet. Use a german style plug where the cable exits from the middle of it, it'll just pull out. I assume that they were designed like that for this reason, if you pull the wire too hard the plug comes out, thereby increasing safety.
Essentially the same thing. I've seen the little car heaters for as low as
8.99. Also see ebay item 110066497081, 7.50 plus 3.50 p&p.I use one in the boat, it takes an hour to make an appreciable difference and never makes the place toasty but does take the chill off.

Why didn't you just ask me about this? My e-Mail is right at the top of the page. I could've answered all your questions.
Welcome to usenet - more specifically, welcome to AFL.
Although the post you are replying to is now fairly old, it is still reasonably chilly (in the northern half) and I'm sure there will be many subscribers interested in your answers to the questions posed by the o/p.
Happy new year.
Some seriously cool projects on your website. You are as mad as the rest of us. Are you sure you don´t have a Landrover ? Happy New Year.
