Product Information

If I'm camping by myself with the kids I always do electric as it makes things that little bit easier. I could be wrong, however, the EHU kit is for 10A total, not 16A, and I am not aware of 16A kits with RCD being available on the market. I enjoyed the little overhead light for the tent that I ran off it, and I liked being able to charge my phone and laptop up easily.

English student living loans will once again rise by less than the rate of inflation, the Government has announced.

An essential for any family camping or caravanning trip; this great value 3-socket mains kit makes it easy and safe to connect your tent to the campsite's electrical hook. I completely stand by the IP44 cert products (and not misleading at all) – they’re MUCH more safer than a standard domestic multiplug. I live near that site and looked into camping there for short trips years ago when I was a tenter, and the 6A supply put me off. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. If it doesn’t trip, turn the power off again, unplug the lead from your ’van, make sure the exposed lead end is in a dry place where nobody will go near it, and switch the power back on.

Hook-up sockets and plugs[tl:gallery index=5 size=215×129] only work when they are pushed fully home. Bare this in mind when you plug things in as you can easily trip out the post if you are overloading it, you may also trip out your fellow campers ( yes I have seen it happen ). Arguably, getting something for totally free will get a true MoneySaver's heart pumping faster than any cardio workout ever could. We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).It can be a little confusing knowing which cables are safe and affordable (there’s a few dodgy ones out there!

Motors such as those in fan heaters need a starting surge of nearly twice their usual current, while fluorescent lights use four or five times their usual current rating.I survived on ciders and the food and drinks available to purchase at the pub and the barn where they had weekend entertainments. Please correct me if I am wrong, however, I believe you are referring to an Electric Hook Up (EHU) kit. There simply isn’t enough current (amps) to do that and using more than the electrical point provides will see the supply trip out and stop. We tend to get electric hookup if it's available, but mainly just to charge our phones and put the fan/heater on. Essentially, it consists of a hook-up post (or socket) by the on-site pitch, a socket in the side of your ’van, and a [tl:gallery index=1 size=215×129]lead to join them together.

I take the electric kettle (fab for hot water bottles last thing at night), chargers, and a plugin night light.

The lead works, the hook up cable works, it only has to be a few feet of cable and a couple of devices that are failing. From there you’ll be able to plug in standard 3-pin plugs into it and use your appliances (or at least some of them). Maybe I should add that electricity, outdoors, is always a risk no matter what you use but the article picks which products I’ve used and what I’d recommend (along with many others). Their design alone assures that splashes from within the tent are much more unlikely to slip inside the sockets and the RCD is in all the recommended items in the piece. I did try to get the point across that the breaker must be lower rated than the cable which is what this thread was all about as in cable gauge.
