I'm thinking of buying this hook up on ebay. It looks a bit 'home made' but his feedback is good, has anyone bought one? Would it be a good purchase??

Thanks for any help.

Hi Andrea

Advice from others on here in the past is NOT to buy anything of that nature from ebay.Sites will not let you use anything "home made" anyway,  I have had to show my EHU equipment on more than one site before being allowed to "plug in". 

For safety, I would only buy/use official EHU units/leads.

Hope this helps

Pauline

Typical death trap bodge-up. Where`s the RCD for a start? Don`t waste your money...buy a proper one from a camping shop. You can get a 3 socket one for under £50 these days.   Is your life (or that of your child) not worth an extra £35?

There will be others along shortly to tell you not to buy it. Read here.

It has no RCD, no MCB's, and will not be allowed on any site that checks your hook-up lead.

Your link didn't work but I found the item anyway.

Do NOT buy this.

It is totally unsuitable for use outdoors. I wish there was a way of stopping these idiots ripping people off, and threatening their safety, with the false claims they make

This is not suitable as a camping EHU. It does not have an RCD and it certainly is not IP44 rated. Do not buy it. A proper hook up will cost at least £50 for a reason

Don’t buy one it is not a proper EHU, looks like a home made job and as said there is no  RCD protection

the4 problem I have found with the EHU;s that you can buy ready made is that they are not IP66.....Whereas I can construct an IP66 complioance one with RCd protection cheaper
