Just remember that the 220v socket is only capable of powering devices up to 150w so no hairdryers or kettles! and the 12v sockets can only deliver a max of 120w

and for the Stop Start here are some of the things which will stop the it from working

● The engine is not warmed up.
● The engine coolant temperature is too high. e.g after a high speed drive (motorway) or if it is a particularly hot day
● The engine exhaust temperature is too high, e.g. after driving with high engine load or Immediately after higher speed driving an Autostop may be inhibited.
● Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop e.g. very low settings
● The brake vacuum is not sufficient.
● The self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is active.
● The vehicle was not driven at least at walking speed since the last Autostop otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited.

My 220v works all the time, however, the problem I have is that the design of the socket isn't great. When plugging things in it requires a lot of force, and if the plug comes out even a millimetre then it doesn't work.

I'm also not sure if the inverter in there is a pure or modified Sine Wave inverter. A lot of things will not work (or won't work well) with modified Sine Wave - which is the cheaper option and knowing Vauxhall this is most likely the case.

My 220 socket broke down unexpectedly after being used only few times to charge a cell phone. They say it was a fuse.
I wonder what other thing connected to the same fuse made it go offline.

My start/ stop works with no issues and only really do short journeys. When it started to not work properly it was the battery on its way out. Renewed battery and now back to working fine again. If the battery is say 4 year old, that could be the issue or the IBS that’s fitted to these batteries. Never used the 220v socket though. I don’t require the need to take a fridge everywhere with me.
