They do seem to have shot up in price this year.

Last year they were nearly all £39.99, this season they all seem to be £49.99.

Now, I know a little bit about inflation but that's ridiculous! Luckily I'm still a qualified electrician, so had a suitable set-up already, although I never have hook-up, just a small inverter, which need an RCD even more than a normal supply, as most inverters have no earth! (I've looked inside).

Good luck on your search, I've found ebay gets regularly beaten by Amazon these days. It's no longer the bargain site it used to be. You could try there (Amazon, that is). Or I'm sure one of our good members will find you one.

the ones at aldi are brilliant. I bought 1 and noticed on the back that they are actually branded as sunncamp. Also, with the 3 year guarantee, you simply cant go wrong-if you can get 1 that is. It is a few weeks ago since they first got them in store.

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

Have you tried Googling 'tent electric hook up leads'? Comes up with lots of links showing much cheaper prices than £50

BEWARE a thermal cut out is no NO SUBSTITUTE for a RRCD it only cuts out if the cable overheats and offers NO PROTECTION against an ELECTRIC SHOCK

Thermal cutout is like a re-settable fuse, they are what you get on a basic household extension lead.

Certainly not good enough for camping or caravanning!

It needs to have an RCD or RCCB (same thing), coupled with one or more MCBs (circuit breakers).

Stay away from cheap, home made, or extension lead based ebay bargains.

These so called campsite electric hook up cables from delightful-uk.com are good examples of what NOT to buy. I don't know how they get away with selling them as camping EHU cables...they are just household extensions and many campsites would not allow them.
