The camp site i go to has the trip switch on the main unit you plug the lead into
I do not believe you can rely on that for your own safety inside your tent!
Your lead as it is, is not fit for purpose, and you have been strongly advised not to use it.
If you go to the camp site and use this lead, thinking it is all good, for the camp site to turn round and say, sorry, you can't, then you only have yourself to blame.
Apologies for being blunt, however, it is for your own safety that we are advising you against using this lead.

DK no problem be as blunt as you like 😁, im actually new to camping so I thank everyone for there advice, I will look for another one, I was given that one so didn't know if it worked, so thats why I asked how to test it, but im grateful for all the comments and I would never put anyone at risk so thankyou
No worries.
Better to be safe than sorry as the saying goes.
Luckily, a new EHU lead is not too expensive.
Instead of the one I posted before, this is what I would get myself if I were to get a new one, as it is a good make, comes with 3 x 3-pin sockets and 2 USB ports, in a roller unit for easy of packing and storing:
Maypole Roller EHU Kit with 3 Sockets and 2 USB Ports
It is more expensive, however, USB ports are very useful nowadays.
With regard to roller units or any cable rolled up in a coil, the advice is to unroll the entire cable as it can get warm wrapped up in the coil during use.
