Load space domestic plug socket
Anyone know if it's available as an accessory or otherwise retrofittable?

On the configurator it looks like it's only available as part of the off road pack. Cheers, David

Plug wattage is 180w. I asked his question too, then found it is marked on the socket when you lift the protective flap Embarassed
It isn’t as useful as you might think too, I wanted to plug my camera battery charger into it but due to the spring loaded flap not lifting enough the 3npin charger wouldn’t fit......

I found it easier to charge the camera batteries using a USB connection than to use the 3 pin socket...... Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Laughing

Lots of motorhome/caravan low wattage items Mike

I went for the 90 and I don’t think there’s enough space in the boot to plug anything in Laughing 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

You could always upgrade the inverter.

You may find thàt if you use an old-fashioned 2-way adaptor as a spacer you can plug that in.

Glad it’s not just me that has the Nespresso machine as the Holy Grail of car electrics. Looks like I’ll have to stick with my old mokka pot. Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

I have one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Handpresso-127043...B078BBZJ84 not quite as good as a proper machine but works well when travelling. Have used it in our old 90 and the dash didn’t melt so it doesn’t draw crazy amounts of power!![/url]
