240v outside power

[Pucci Mike]

When using 240v extension lead outside van anyone found a “route” from the van to avoid an open window or continual kinking of the mains lead.
I guess an outside water proof socket would be ideal - anyone attempted this?

Does yours not have a hook up socket ? Or do you mean taking power from within to outside ?

Probably doesn't comply with site hook-up rules, but how about one of these and one of these?

Run your usual hook up lead to the Y splitter it and place it under the van so it keeps dry.

Then a short hook up lead to run from one of the tails of the splitter to the van connection point.
And use the other tail on the splitter to connect the 13 Amp lug socket unit.

With a bit of Googling, it looks like you could get both items at a lower price than those shown in the links.

That’s what I use Y splitter goes under the van out of camp wardens sight and rain. Have made up various flex leads to suit a number of set up configurations.
