FAQs

What is the length of this electric hook-up lead?

This specific model is 10 meters long.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use in rain?

Yes, the cable is IP44 rated, meaning it is splash-proof and suitable for outdoor use in most weather conditions. However, avoid complete immersion in water.

What type of plug does it have?

It has a 16 Amp plug on one end for connecting to campsite supplies and a 16 Amp coupler socket on the other end for connecting to your caravan or motorhome.

Can I use this cable to connect my caravan to a standard UK 3-pin socket at home?

This lead is designed for campsite hook-ups. While a Fly Lead Adaptor with a UK 3-pin plug is available separately, it's crucial to ensure your home socket and wiring can safely handle the load, and this setup is intended for temporary use only.

What does BS EN60309 approval mean?

This approval signifies that the plug and socket comply with European safety standards for industrial and temporary power connections, ensuring a high level of safety and reliability.

What is the diameter of the cable?

The cable diameter is 1.5mm.

What is the voltage rating?

The cable is rated for a voltage of 200 - 250V, which is standard for mains electricity in the UK and Europe.

Troubleshooting

No power to the caravan/motorhome.

Check that the 16A plug is fully inserted into the campsite socket and the coupler is securely connected to your vehicle. Verify that the power supply at the campsite is active. Ensure your vehicle's RCD or breaker has not tripped.

Cable is stiff or difficult to coil.

Ensure the cable is at a moderate temperature. Extreme cold can make cables stiffer. Store loosely coiled to prevent permanent kinks.

Visible damage to the cable or connectors.

Do not use the cable if there are any cuts, nicks, or damage to the cable insulation or if connectors are bent or broken. Replace the cable immediately for safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides essential mains electricity to caravans and motorhomes at campsites.
High visibility orange color enhances safety.
Robust construction with BS EN60309 approval and IP44 rating for durability and weather resistance.
100% copper cable ensures good conductivity.
Generous 10-meter length offers flexibility in positioning your vehicle.

Cons

Primarily intended for temporary campsite connections, not permanent installations.
The 16A plug may not be compatible with all power sources if you are off the beaten path.
Requires a compatible socket on the caravan or motorhome.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Uncoil the lead, ensuring it is not stretched taut.
Plug the 16A male plug into the campsite's electrical hook-up point.
Connect the 16A female coupler socket to the corresponding input on your caravan or motorhome.
Ensure all connections are secure before turning on power at the hook-up point.

Compatibility:

This lead is compatible with any campsite or power source that provides a standard 16A, 200-250V outlet.
It connects to any caravan or motorhome equipped with a standard 16A mains power inlet.
An optional Fly Lead Adaptor (sold separately) can be used to connect to a standard UK 3-pin household socket for home use, but this should be done with caution and awareness of home electrical limitations.

Care:

After use, disconnect the lead from both ends.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Coil the lead loosely for storage to prevent damage to the cable.
Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Inspect the cable and connectors regularly for any signs of damage (cuts, fraying, bent pins) before each use. Do not use if damaged.
