About this deal

It’s important to consider what the length of the cable is. Ideally the longer length you can get the better because if you’re going to a new caravan park, then you might be unaware of the layout of the pitches or how far the electrical supply point is to your caravan. Most campervans and motorhomes have a 12V leisure battery onboard which will offer enough power to run a small fridge, mobile phones and LED lights for a couple of days. The cable is constructed by in-house qualified electrical engineers so you can trust its quality. The cable ends have been terminated which reinforces the cable to lengthen the life of the extension lead. This stops the cable from loosening, so you get more use out of it.

Low-wattage appliances designed specifically for camping are readily available from outdoors suppliers. The cable is 15 metres long, which means that you can reach the hookup point without having to overstretch the wires which can cause damage or be more of a trip hazard. When you hold the lead, you can feel the quality, and it has a weightiness so it won’t just be blown away, but it’s still light enough to move around easily. Ideally, you want a hookup cable that is easy to use every time. You have enough to worry about when you go caravanning, so the last thing you want to do is have to spend hours trying to troubleshoot and issue when the best cables allow you to just plug in to use. IP Rating If the polarity is reversed, you should attach a Polarity Reverse Adapter to your hook up cable so that the power flowing to the van is the correct way round.This secondary power unit is only brought along on our trip if we have the drive-away awning with us.

Disconnect the cable from the power supply bollard. Depending on the connection type, there may be a release button. A normal kettle uses 2000W, or 8.7A. Therefore, we recommended above that you take special low-watt appliances. That one household item would use all the power from a 10A hook up. You can also avoid accidents by investing in an RCD or residual-current device (also known as a residual-current circuit breaker). This is a special device that will switch off an electrical circuit that is unsafe. The Equipment You Need and Where to Get ItIn practical terms, this means that the power supply at the bollard produces an electrical current that can power at any one time to a maximum of 16A (or 10A or 5/6A). As the power supply user, you need to make sure your total usage does not exceed this amount. In this guide, we’ll show you the best caravan hook up cables on the market, so you can take full advantage of the local power supply – and sleep easy knowing that the toaster and coffee machine will be waiting for you in the morning! Or that the kids won’t run out of television… A Reverse Polarity Tester will tell you if this is the case, and a Polarity Reverse Adapter will correct it.

Your supply cable will need to conform to standard BS EN 60309-2. This specifies a PVC/PVC flexible cable with three cores, each core ideally being 2.5mm. Hook up cables are therefore fatter than your standard domestic power cords. Cable care and storage

Important Info

About GO Outdoors Job Opportunities JD Sports Fashion PLC Modern Slavery Report GO Outdoors Partners Discover Freedom Your designated power supply point may be on or next to your pitch, or it could be one or two pitches away from yours, requiring a long cable to reach it. How much power is supplied? The cables that use the highest quality materials will usually last longer so although they may cost slightly more, it’ll be worth it in the long run because you’ll need to replace it less often. This isn’t the type of product that you want to be replaced each year. Connections & Wiring
