Product Information

Full details

The Spares2go 16A Socket Hook-Up Lead is designed for caravan, motorhome, and campervan owners who need a reliable way to connect their vehicle's site-power system to a standard domestic 13A UK mains outlet. It provides a straightforward power solution for charging batteries or running appliances while at home, though users must note that it is limited to the capacity of the domestic circuit, making it unsuitable for high-draw heavy equipment.

FAQs

Can I use this to power a heater in my caravan?

While it can power some heaters, be cautious of your domestic circuit's limit. Ensure the total load does not exceed 13A to avoid tripping your home's breaker.

Is this waterproof?

It is splash-proof, not waterproof. It should not be left out in heavy rain or standing water.

How long is the cable?

The lead has a total length of 435mm.

Does this work on European sockets?

No, this is designed for a standard UK 3-pin mains plug.

Is the socket end compatible with all caravan cables?

It is compatible with all standard 16A 3-pin caravan hook-up cables.

Troubleshooting

No power reaching the caravan.

Verify that the domestic outlet is switched on and check your caravan's main circuit breaker to ensure it hasn't tripped.

Plug feels loose in the socket.

Ensure the pins are fully inserted. If the domestic socket is worn, consider using a different outlet to ensure a secure connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and lightweight for easy storage
  • Essential for testing caravan electrics at home
  • Splash-proof design offers extra safety outdoors
  • Simple plug-and-play installation

Cons

  • Limited to domestic power output capacity
  • Short 435mm lead may require an extension cord in some setups
  • Not intended for continuous high-load industrial use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is simple: connect your 16A hook-up cable to the female end of the adaptor and plug the 13A male end into a standard domestic wall socket. Compatibility is limited to standard UK 3-pin domestic outlets and international standard 16A caravan hook-up cables. To care for the unit, inspect the lead periodically for any signs of wire fraying or housing cracks. Clean the exterior with a dry cloth; never submerge the connector in water, and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the splash-proof seals.
