All Lengths Caravan Camping Motorhome Hook Up Cable 16A Site Extension Lead Electric 16 AMP to 16 AMP (1.5mm 3183Y PVC Orange Flex) with FREE Cable Carrier Reel (10m)

Product Information

All campers have a responsibility to ensure that the cable from the post, the connection to their own caravan, motorhome or tent and that of the equipment being used is maintained to a safe level and respectful of other camp site users. A new outfit will have mains wiring installed correctly if it has a National Caravan Council (NCC) certificate. You need to ensure the total rated wattage (rated power) of equipment switched on at any one time is less than the power supplied to you.

When you do not have access to a 230V mains hook-up you can use an invertor to provide a 230V supply from your 12V battery. The Electrical Safety Council recommends caravans should undergo testing with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least once every three years.

If the loss of supply is because you have overloaded the circuit or misused your equipment there may be a charge for restoring your electricity supply.

The use of a second cable is not recommended, but if it is used it must be fitted with the same BS EN 60309-2 standard plug and connector. The supply on Club Sites (and most other campsites) is designed on the basis of diversity so the main site supply is geared up to an average electrical usage, not all hook-ups taking 16A at one time.These devices have one, two or three domestic-style three-pin socket outlets and a control box with safety features incorporating miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and a residual circuit breaker (RCD). That means you could run a low-watt camping or travel kettle (around 750 Watts), plus a low-watt toaster (900 Watts).

Using an Electric Hook Up (EHU) when Camping - Get Out With

Club policy is that generators may only be used at the discretion of the Holiday Site Manager or the Steward on a meet or rally field. They will however be able to advise you about the connection and disconnection of the supply at the socket outlet. Add up all the Watts of the appliances you want to use simultaneously and ensure it stays below the maximum Watts on the campsite's Electric Hook-Up. A couple of pointers; the mobile mains will normally have a clip which allows you to clip it onto the frame of your tent or hang it up within the tent.Do not forget the exhaust end of the generator will get very hot and can be a hazard to children and animals and give risk of fire if it is near long grass or other flammable material.
