Product Information

Full details

This Kenable adapter is for caravan, campervan, and motorhome owners who need to power standard UK 13A appliances from a 240V 16A campsite hookup. Its key benefit is providing a reliable and safe way to connect your devices, with a key caveat being that it only converts the power type and does not change voltage. The adapter features a durable, weather-resistant construction and a secure connection, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

FAQs

Can I use this adapter with a 12V or 24V power source?

No, this adapter is designed exclusively for 240V power sources. It will not function and could be damaged if used with lower voltage systems.

What is the maximum power I can draw through this adapter?

The output socket is a standard 13A UK mains socket. At 240V, this equates to a maximum theoretical power draw of approximately 3120 Watts (240V * 13A). However, always check the power rating of your appliance and ensure it does not exceed this limit, and also consider the capacity of the campsite's 16A supply.

Is this adapter suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

While the adapter is weather-resistant for temporary outdoor use, it is not designed for permanent installation. It should be disconnected and stored safely when not in use.

What does the 'CEE' plug refer to?

CEE refers to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization. The blue CEE plug is a standard connector commonly used for 240V power hookups at campsites and marinas across Europe and the UK.

Can I use this adapter to connect a 16A appliance plug?

No, this adapter converts a 16A *source* to a standard 13A *socket*. It is for plugging standard UK 13A appliances into a 16A supply, not for plugging 16A appliances directly into a 13A socket.

How do I clean the adapter?

Wipe the adapter with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or submerging it in water.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected appliance

Ensure the 16A CEE plug is fully inserted into the power source and the adapter's socket is securely connected to your appliance. Check that the campsite power source is active and functioning. Verify that the appliance itself is working correctly.

Loose connection at the CEE plug

Gently push the CEE plug further into the power source until it feels secure. If the power source connection point is worn, this adapter may not achieve a stable connection.

Adapter feels warm during use

Some warmth is normal under load. However, if the adapter becomes excessively hot, immediately disconnect the appliance and the adapter. This may indicate the appliance is drawing too much current or there is a fault with the adapter. Do not use if overheating persists.

Water ingress into the socket

Ensure the hinged protective cover is closed when the adapter is not in use. If the socket has been exposed to water, do not use it until it is completely dry and has been inspected for any damage. Allow at least 24 hours to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables use of standard UK appliances at campsites.
  • Robust and weather-resistant design for outdoor reliability.
  • Secure connection minimizes risk of power loss.
  • Easy to use with no complex setup.
  • Compact for convenient storage.

Cons

  • Does not convert voltage; only suitable for 240V sources.
  • Requires a 16A CEE hookup point for operation.
  • Limited to powering devices that do not exceed the 13A socket's capacity.
  • Can be susceptible to damage if subjected to extreme physical force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the 16A CEE input into the corresponding power outlet at your campsite or power source. Then, plug your standard UK 13A appliance into the adapter's socket. Ensure a secure fit for both connections.

Compatibility: This adapter is compatible with 240V 16A CEE power outlets and standard UK 13A appliances. It is *not* suitable for 12V or 24V systems, nor for 16A appliances that require a direct 16A plug.

Care: Keep the adapter clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store it in a dry place when not in use. Ensure the protective cover is closed when the socket is not in use to protect it from debris and moisture. Regularly inspect the plug and socket for any signs of damage.
