This 15-meter caravan electric hook-up lead from SecureFix Direct is designed for caravanners, motorhome owners, and campers who need a reliable connection to mains electricity at campsites. Its key benefit is providing easy and safe access to power for your vehicle, with the added versatility of a home power adapter. A potential caveat is the 1.5mm diameter, which may be less robust than thicker cables for very heavy power demands or frequent rough handling.

While rated for standard campsite use (typically 16A), the 1.5mm diameter is best suited for moderate power draws. For very high-demand appliances, consider a cable with a thicker diameter. Always refer to your caravan's power specifications.
The fly lead adaptor itself is designed for indoor domestic sockets. The main hook-up cable is IP44 rated for outdoor use.
Coil the cable loosely and store it in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects. Avoid kinking or tightly winding the cable.
An IP44 rating means the cable is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires or tools) and protected against water splashes from any direction.
The 16A plug is standard in many European countries. However, the included fly lead adaptor is specifically for UK 3-pin sockets. For other countries, you would need a different type of adaptor.
Yes, if the static caravan has a compatible 16A mains inlet and the campsite provides a suitable power source.
Ensure the 16A plug is fully inserted into the campsite socket. Check that the campsite power supply is active. Verify the connection to your caravan's inlet. Test the fly lead adaptor with a domestic socket to confirm the cable is functional.
Check for loose connections at either end. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended power draw for the cable's 1.5mm diameter. If the cable is excessively hot, disconnect immediately and inspect for damage or consult a qualified electrician.
Ensure connectors are dry before and after use. The IP44 rating protects against splashes, but submersion should be avoided. Store in a dry environment.
Setup: Connect the 16A plug to the campsite's designated electricity supply point. Connect the other end of the cable to your caravan, motorhome, or tent's mains inlet. If using the fly lead adaptor, connect the main cable to the adaptor, and then plug the UK 3-pin end into a suitable domestic power socket.
Compatibility: This lead is compatible with standard 16A campsite hook-up points and caravans/motorhomes equipped with a standard mains inlet. The fly lead adaptor is designed for standard UK 3-pin domestic sockets.
Care: After use, disconnect the lead from both the power source and your vehicle. Store the cable loosely coiled in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Inspect the cable and connectors regularly for any signs of damage. Clean the cable with a damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before storage or use.
