GimmeMedals Apr 2023 6:19pm, 11 Apr 2023 24,874 posts	0 GimmeMedals We used leave ours plugged in and thermostat set, when we were away every weekend. The fridge was always on and we kept it stocked ready to go away. We haven't done so for the last couple of years and bills are less than they were.

Sounds like a 2KW electric fire and then some!

Rosehip Apr 2023 7:49pm, 11 Apr 2023 28,565 posts	0 Rosehip There is a youtuber who’s used a usage monitor and worked out that it was costing in £8/24 hrs (I think) to have his van heating on at 5-8C on the drive We put ours on overnight before we went away at the start of Feb ‘cos I’d filled the water up to test the system after the cold snap, but wouldn’t do other than to charge batteries as needed when there’s no sun otherwise
