About this deal

Remember that there are different types of electric hook ups you can buy for camping. Your circumstances and how much power you’d like to use will determine the best option for you. Hook Up Cable Industrial specification H07RN-F rubber cable, specifically manufactured for harsh environments with high mechanical, chemical, water and UV resistance. Flexibility and performance is retained over a wide temperature range (-25 to 55°C). Find out what’s so special about this cable.

One of the reasons for using a properly-designed electrical connection to your unit is that a Residual Current Device (RCD) safety device will be wired into the circuit. This is designed to cut off the supply immediately in the case of a leakage of current to earth. Such a leakage can occur when someone touches an appliance that is damp. Particularly if the person is standing on damp ground, which can easily happen in a tent. Keep it all dry It’s also worth remembering that the amount of power being consumed at any one time can vary throughout the day and the time of year. For example, in peak season, there will be more users hooked up to each bollard. The more there are, the harder the bollard has to work and if there are too many appliances connected at once, this could cause an outage. When touring abroad, it’s important to be aware of the differences when using electricity and gas. Electricity Go to the power supply bollard and disconnect that end of the cable. In some cases, you need to use a release button located on the bollard to be able to take the cable out. If you want to replace a light bulb, disconnect from the main bollard beforehand, as even though you have turned the light switch off, the wiring behind the light fitting will still be live.I personally prefer the type with a 90 degree Schuko plug as that way the weight of the cable is not cantilevered onto the cable. Please be aware of cheaper adaptors available online which do not include an MCB. These are a serious hazard, as if a fault o ccurs the cable and camper would not be protected by a 16A breaker. Subjecting the 16A rated cable and installation to up to 32A before the 32A supply MCB tripped would result in it becoming dangerously hot, risking an electrical fire.

Reduce power consumption as the 1.5mm sq CSA cable is not as capable of sustaining maximum electrical power usage on a caravan or motorhome without the cable overheating The travel adapter is similar to the type you would take away on holiday. It has four international plug options which cover over 150 countries, including the UK. It gives us the facility to charge mobile phones or tablets whilst either on the road or camped up.

Anything that involves the use of electricity needs to be done safely; that goes without saying. So, if you’re looking to use an EHU then we’d recommend following this safety advice.
