Product Information

This gives us greater use of the socket because the travel adapter also has two USB points for charging phones or other electronic devices. Most campsites now have electrical access points (ask for a pitch with access when booking), from which you'll be able to plug in your cable to their safety checked supply bollards. If you are unsure how to wire up this socket seek help from a qualified electrician) This mounted socket can be used for caravan sites and also has industrial uses. The campsite won’t be geared up for every electric hook up pitch to use the maximum supply all at once. Most points are just a case of pushing the cable into the point but sometimes you have to twist it to lock it in place.

When you connect to the hook-up point, plug your cable into your unit first and then into the site’s bollard. If the campsite is only supplying 10 amps then you can only use up to 10 amps regardless of the fact you have a 16 amp unit. Many sites have the three-pin camping power system as we have in the UK, some sites offer only a two-pin power supply.

It is therefore important you make sure your cables and equipment are maintained in good condition by simple checks every time you use it, by regular inspections by a qualified technician and also by using it in a sensible way. It’s great to be at one with nature when you go camping, forgetting about work or what’s on the television that night and enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside or making your own entertainment. At home you’ll probably have plenty of sockets and it’s rare to overload them, but a campsite socket can be easily overloaded.

Whatever option for go for, it is important to consider how you can reduce your energy consumption while still having everything you need. 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. Then take the male socket end to the power bollard where you will find a female socket and connect up, turning it clockwise to make sure it locks. They mention that it's a well constructed lead, works great and that the cable with fitting is very useful.We use it to power lights, mobile phone charging and in cold weather a camping heater inside the awning. Always make sure your camping equipment conforms to these standards, a label on the back or the bottom of your device will usually have this data.

I've got a three socket Sunncamp EHU and have at times had a fan heater, kettle and something else all plugged in and never had a problem - yet! However, most generators are noisy and there is no better way of annoying your fellow campers on a quiet summer’s evening than to start up your generator so you can watch Coronation Street. Most caravans and motorhomes have a 12V supply from a leisure battery or a supply unit that converts a supply to a nominal 12V. Never overload your cables rating, this will inevitably lead to the site post tripping out and may cause irreparable damage to your equipment.The hook up cable (or extension lead) is the main cable you’ll need to get power to your vehicle or camping unit.
