Product Information

On most campsites, the electrical supply’s MCB will be rated to the maximum current (in amps) that the feed can supply. ALWAYS unplug devices before working on them (even changing a light bulb) when abroad if fitted with a UK 13A plug! For instance, a faulty appliance or chafed wires in your motorhome’s loom may allow some electricity to leak to earth. I survived on ciders and the food and drinks available to purchase at the pub and the barn where they had weekend entertainments.

Essentially, it consists of a hook-up post (or socket) by the on-site pitch, a socket in the side of your ’van, and a [tl:gallery index=1 size=215×129]lead to join them together. The socket you plug into will most likely be a 2P+E 16A Ceeform, so assuming you're camping in a tent as opposed to plugging in a van or a caravan, you'll want an extension lead with a blue 16A plug on the end. You can hook up a 10A kit to a 16A supply; however, you won't be able draw 16A due to the limitation on your 10A kit. Last resort was to empty the boot and look at the power supply cable at the converter but it looked okay.Missed payments will show on your credit file potentially making credit harder to obtain and will result in late fees being added to the debt. Once you know the amperage needs of all the devices you’re likely to run in your ’van, total up any you plan to use simultaneously to make sure the demand is within the hook-up’s maximum supply rating.

From there you’ll be able to plug in standard 3-pin plugs into it and use your appliances (or at least some of them).

Safer than just a bog-standard extension lead with a 16A plug on the end and it even has a couple of USB sockets built in for phone charging. An essential for any family camping or caravanning trip; this great value 3-socket mains kit makes it easy and safe to connect your tent to the campsite's electrical hook. Besides getting a robust, safe EHU cable as detailed above there are a few other pointers for being safe with your electric hook up. We used ours for the fridge and chargers, hair drier, straighteners, Electric pump for the air bed, etc.
