About this deal

Also supplied with the cable is a free cable reel which has an easy carry handle. This reel makes it easier to store away your cable when it’s not in use, with a robust design that’s built to last. Watts is used to measure electrical power and amps is used to measure electrical current. An electrical appliance uses a current that’s measured in watts. For instance, most, common hairdryers use a current of 6.5 amps or 1500 watts. 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). As the power supply user, you need to make sure your total usage does not exceed this amount.

You can also avoid accidents by investing in an RCD or residual-current device (also known as a residual-current circuit breaker). This is a special device that will switch off an electrical circuit that is unsafe. The Equipment You Need and Where to Get It In this guide, we’ll show you the best caravan hook up cables on the market, so you can take full advantage of the local power supply – and sleep easy knowing that the toaster and coffee machine will be waiting for you in the morning! Or that the kids won’t run out of television…

Perfect for connecting to generators, camping hook up points and for use where you need a power supply from up to 25 meters away We’ve got a wide range of power supplies and electric hook ups suitable for all purposes from charging up your mobile phone or GPS device to help you navigate your way around a national park, to everyday batteries and solar panels to help you recharge or power your torch or tent lighting for the evening.

Some of these lower quality leads are made in people’s homes so they haven’t been produced at a commercial level which could mean that they haven’t been properly safety tested. They may look good on the outside, but there’s no way of telling if they’ve been wired correctly on the inside. Warranty It’s great to be at one with nature when you go camping, forgetting about work or what’s on the television that night and enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside or making your own entertainment. However, it’s always important to have access to some kind of power supply to help get your camping essentials going – such as airbed pumps and an electric hook up for the electrics inside your caravan. Each power bollard (or EHU post) usually has one to four power connection points, although sometimes up to eight. One connection for each pitch. Although mains leads are not essential for a successful caravan, motorhome or campervan trip, it can make your time on the road that little bit more relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable. div>

The travel adapter is similar to the type you would take away on holiday. It has four international plug options which cover over 150 countries, including the UK. It gives us the facility to charge mobile phones or tablets whilst either on the road or camped up. For UK-wired vehicles, this can cause a safety issue. Power is travelling down the neutral wire rather than the live wire. This means that an appliance will work, but live power will continue to flow to it even when it is switched off. A normal kettle uses 2000W, or 8.7A. Therefore, we recommended above that you take special low-watt appliances. That one household item would use all the power from a 10A hook up. The material of the hookup cable is important because throughout all its use it’ll be outdoors so it needs to be able to withstand the natural UK elements which can often include spells of wind and rain. The best cables will be covered in a PVC sheath that gives it all-round protection.

These devices shut off automatically if they detect a problem with the circuit. Although electric hook ups are, for the most part, safe; whenever electricity and potentially wet environments are involved you should always be extra careful. Make sure you follow the following tips: A Reverse Polarity Tester will tell you if this is the case, and a Polarity Reverse Adapter will correct it.

Until researching this topic in detail, I wasn’t really aware of just how much power is used by our day to day appliances. Power usage by domestic appliances Ideally, you want a hookup cable that is easy to use every time. You have enough to worry about when you go caravanning, so the last thing you want to do is have to spend hours trying to troubleshoot and issue when the best cables allow you to just plug in to use. IP Rating In our house, we give power usage some thought but definitely aren’t perfect. We try not to leave lights on, don’t re-boil the kettle when it’s still hot, and remember (sometimes) to shut down computers overnight.Overall this is a strong, robust and durable cable. It has a water-resistant rating of IP44 to give you added peace of mind. In terms of safety, it conforms to BS 7671 and EN 60309 and is CE approved. Note that you should only use the Polarity Reverse Adapter if it is definitely needed. Otherwise, you will have inadvertently created reverse polarity in your van! How many Amps are you using? An IP rating is short for the term Ingress Protection mark which is a two-digit grading system that’s ingrained onto the enclosure of electrical items so customers can see how effective the item is at resisting intrusion to unwanted substances. div>
