Electrical Hook Up Help?

[m4rky]

Hi All

This has been an extremely expensive week stocking up on accessories for the forthcoming Cali :crazy but hey its been fun :grin:

I know that I need to get an electrical hook up but I have no experience with these things at all. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks Mark

Hi Mark

For the UK you will just need one of these http://www.towsure.com/product/Caravan_ ... d_10_Metre All caravan accessories shops sell these and 10 metres should be fine.

Kev also sells the Euro adapters if you are travelling to the continent.

Thats great thanks a lot Martin

Fortunately for me that shop is only 20 minutes from my home Even better!

I would consider the cost difference between 10m & 25m and see if you think 25 is more viable.

I had a 10m one when we were tent camping and like all men longed for some extra length so this time I went for 25m.

Totally agree with you about the 25 mtr cables, a couple of sites ive been to had very few EHU posts so you had to trail the cable quite a way to get power.

I stand corrected on this !! I actually have 25m aswell

I actually cut mine in half so I now have two x 12.5m cables so if I need the full 25m I just connect them together, that way i don't have loads of cable coiled up on the ground, also if I am going to a site I know I just take the shortest one with me.

So Mark please ignore my first comment and get 25m !

:lol: 25m it is then

If it helps i keep my cable in one of those round zip up covers, helps to store it clean when wet and as a bonus at that diameter it slips inside the fold up seat in the tailgate.
cheers Keith.

I bought a 10m but found it too short for one site we visited, so bought another and the 20m combination seems fine. More adaptable than a 25m one, the 10m on its own is fine for home.
