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

Our mission is to make it easy to find and book the UK's best camping, glamping and touring holidays. The available power from continental hook-up points will often be less than the UK and a supply as little as 5A or 6A is common. Different appliances draw different amounts of current. A domestic kettle is power-hungry but you can get a low-watt camping kettle. Also, be careful of running devices at the same time. For example, when using the kettle, you may avoid overloading the supply by turning off a heater. I had an Owl .. and it shows what power you are using.. it can also be set to alarm at a pre set figure .. so you not only know what you are using but get an alarm before the MCB trips.. I had mine set at 3.5kw when on a 16A EHU

That means you could run a low-watt camping or travel kettle (around 750 Watts), plus a low-watt toaster (900 Watts). But if someone then plugs in a low 600W Hair Dryer, you are dangerously close to tripping the electrics. Although the electrical standards require a 25m cable with a CSA of 2.5mm sq these are rarely available for sale so if you must get a 1.5mm sq CSA with only 15m of cable consider the following:as most of the load in a motorhome will be resistive.. ie heating.. the current and voltage will change polarity in step, this does not affect power factor.. Although it is a little more expensive, we recommend the Outwell Mains 3-Way-Roller Kit with USB and Light. Small Tent, Medium Tent, Trailer Tent, Single Axle Caravan, VW-Type Campervan, Sprinter-Type Campervan or Motorhome The fridge/freezer will obviously be on, we may also want to use the electric oven and possibly the shower.

However, a 230V mains appliance taking a 1A supply from an invertor will require 20A from the battery, which can cause the battery to discharge rapidly and overload the 12V wiring system. It is also important to remember to take the same safety precautions with a 230V supply from an invertor as with a normal 230V mains supply. Generators Cheaper generators may cause electrical spikes or surges in voltage that can result in damage to the caravan’s sensitive electronic control systems. Allowing generators to run for a while to warm up before connecting can sometimes alleviate this problem, but it is better to buy a generator with the technology to provide a smooth surge-free electrical supply.Caravans and motorhomes also have the option to opt for one of the fully serviced hardstanding touring pitches. There pitches welcome up to six guests and are each 12m x 10m in size with a 3m wide gravel hardstanding area, electric hook up, water point and grey waste hook up.
