About this deal

To plug in your motorhome or campervan to use power in the vehicle at a UK campsite may only require a single cable. It is also handy when staying at a friend or family member’s home and gives you a way of powering your internal lights, fridge, and phones without draining your leisure battery.

Fortunately, with the coming of standardisation within the European Union, voltage supply problems are fewer than before. As it is a German-made vehicle, one of the plug sockets built into the campervan is a two-pin European socket which connects to the leisure battery. Essentially, you can use one "significant" heating appliance (grill, household toaster, household kettle, hotplate, fan heater, hairdryer) at a time. A domestic kettle for example uses around 2,000 Watts or about 8 amps, a hair dryer around 1,000 Watts or 5 amps. 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.We sell a wide range of heavy duty extension leads and accessories, from standard household extension leads to three phase leads used in heavy industry.

You will probably need to have a ventilated housing to shield it from rain and help keep the noise disturbance low. We use a Y splitter if we are using our mobile mains roller power unit as well as our 25m campsite extension lead. Power (in W) = voltage (in V) x current (in A), so for a 10A hook-up, 230V x 10A = 2300W, hence 2,300W (2.

UK wiring regulations require special measures if electricity is to be used in outdoor locations and as conditions in tent and awnings can often be damp and affected by condensation, it is only sensible to take special measures in these situations. My name is Matt and welcome to Skip and Jump, I’m a pro-photographer with a passion for the outdoors, living easier, tech and travel. It’s the ability to have a working power outlet in your tent whilst your pitched on a campsite that provides electric power points.

In the case of electrical hook ups, the second digit on the IP rating (shown in the list below) correlates to how effective the electric hook up is at being waterproof. There's no such thing as a stupid question Richard :-) In the UK, all electric hook-ups will use the same 3-pin connector, irrespective of power rating. My personal recommendation is for the Crusader EHU but I’ve selected 2 others you may want to consider in my article for the 3 best electric hook up cables for camping and caravanning. 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. Main Application : Used in the connection of 240 Volt electrical appliances for outdoor industrial installations that need to remain operational in extreme climatic conditions.

Many sites have the three-pin camping power system as we have in the UK, some sites offer only a two-pin power supply. The blue electrical connector we all use for electric hookup is a 16amp IP rated (water and dust ingress rating) connector which has nothing to do with what a campsite offers us as their maximum amperage draw. If so, solar panels, solar charge controller and leisure batteries and a DC to AC inverter if you want 240vac. This sensitive device will shut off all electric power to the electrical circuits in your system if it detects a problem, and you certainly shouldn't consider using an EHU in your tent without one.
