As someone who trained doing electrical and electronic engineering I certainly wouldnt rely on a campsite hookup to provide the RCB. All it takes is a dappy staff member sticking a nail across the circuit one evening cos he cant be bothered waiting for an engineer or dealing with the hundreds of customers moaning they cant "boil their kettles" and everyone is at risk.
At least if you have your own RCB supply and know your own kit is spot on you are alot safer.

As someone else said, you only get one shot at this life, why risk it for the sake of £20?

I was advised in a local camping store that the leads they sell (essentially a 3 pin domestic socket on the end of a round 3 pin plug) would be fine as long as I used a plug in RCD socket (same sort you would use for lawnmowers etc..) before any electrical appliances I wanted to use.

Have I been misled? I haven't used them yet, they are still in their packaging so I can still return them if necessary.
