Product Information

Just occasionally, if a cold spell occurs at times of high occupancy and all users switch on electrical heaters and kettles at the same time, you may suffer reduced power or even a power cut, so it is important to use electricity responsibly. To help the environment we re-use boxes, so deliveries may come in incorrectly marked outer packaging. I'm no expert in voltage and wattage, but I do have an EHU cable and have got to know what I can get away with. Looking at getting one of these but they are only 15 meters, we were hoping for at least 25 just in case.

When setting up with a campervan, motorhome or caravan, always connect the female end of the cable to your unit first. Even though you may have a 16A hook-up, the power sockets in your caravan or motorhome may be protected by a circuit breaker of just 10A. If you look at the rating of the electrical equipment you brought along with you, there will be a similar breaker/switch (MCB, and hopefully an RCD) with a rating on it. Skip and Jump is where all these worlds collide and where like-minded folk can come to say hi and hang out. There are lots of different ways to cook, entertain and keep foods cool without the need for an electricity supply.A generator can be used to provide a 230V supply where a hook-up is not available, but this route is not without its drawbacks and safety issues. It may be useful to think of your total campsite power in Watts, as this is the power unit which will be shown on your appliances. If you're a camping purist and you're wondering why on earth anyone would want to use electricity while camping and what you can use an electric hook-up for, here's the full list of ideas from the infographic above!

Hook-ups on Club sites have maximum ratings of 10A or 16A and this will limit the number of appliances you can use at one time (see the How much power section). In 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). If you overload your supply, it may just be a case that your RCD or bollard circuit breaker tripped out. You can use the table below to see how much power you have available depending on the current available at the campsite.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. However, with a bit of practice using solar energy is a clean energy source that you can generate and take with you wherever you decide to visit on your adventures. Torches are available, which if left in bright light all day will light your way when darkness comes.

Your connection to the post must be fitted with a matching plug with either a suitable connection to your vehicle or a mobile mains on the other end. The panels can be fitted to the roof of a caravan or motorhome and there are plenty of portable panels designed for camping use. When you do not have access to a 230V mains hook-up you can use an invertor to provide a 230V supply from your 12V battery. An RCD is a much more important subject which many campsites i've visited don't have on their posts. From there you’ll be able to plug in standard 3-pin plugs into it and use your appliances (or at least some of them).Usually there is another one or more circuits rated at perhaps 6A or 10A, which covers the lighting circuit and possibly some other built-in electrical equipment. This usefully acts as a nightlight, and tucked around the side of the kitchen it is not too intrusive. Solar panels are brilliant eco friendly alternatives for those on extended trips and can be fixed to the roof of a caravan, motorhome or campervan relatively simply. In general there are two types of old-style sockets, both have the two-pin arrangement, but they differ in how the earth connection is made.
