Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. You probably shouldn't be running the hair straighteners and the grill at the same time, but the fridge and charging portable gadgetry is going to be nowhere like these numbers. When you connect to a campsite electric hook-up point you are able to receive an electricity supply as you would at home. Definitely worth always carrying an adapter with your power extension cable so that you have the option to use a regular plug socket.

Most campervans and motorhomes have a 12V leisure battery onboard which will offer enough power to run a small fridge, mobile phones and LED lights for a couple of days. I completely stand by the IP44 cert products (and not misleading at all) – they’re MUCH more safer than a standard domestic multiplug. For more information on how to connect to a hookup point and a general overview for how much power ordinary appliances use, check out the following information page regarding ‘Hooking up to the mains’.The kit might be slightly different, but the principle remains the same - you are providing an electrical supply to your temporary home, whatever that may be.

Such leads now come supplied with new caravans and motorhomes constructed under the National Caravan Council (NCC) approval scheme, but suitable leads fitted with the appropriate blue plug and socket are available from most camping or caravan dealers, these connecting leads must be PVC/PVC flexible cable, with three cores, each core being 2. Adding a few little luxuries to your camping holiday could make all the difference to having a more comfortable and ultimately, a more enjoyable stay - so what are you waiting for?

sq CSA and only be 15m long so consideration should be made for pitching and electrical power consumption.

A generator can be used to provide a 230V supply where a hook-up is not available, but this route is not without its drawbacks and safety issues. The only thing we tend to run is the camping heater ( I did a totally cut down list of the all those out there and picked my 4 favs here), USB chargers for power packs and a camping coolbox.

I have a 3kW kettle and have "never" had a problem even on continental sites, although I usually take care with my power calculations when the available current is low. You will probably need to have a ventilated housing to shield it from rain and help keep the noise disturbance low. Essentially, you can use one "significant" heating appliance (grill, household toaster, household kettle, hotplate, fan heater, hairdryer) at a time.
