Hi we have an avonedale passione 5 berth caravan ,year 2006.The previous owner wired a new fridge to a socket under the front seating area which also controls a socket at the rear of the caravan that they installed. I was drying my hair and my hair drier has blown a fuse somewhere so now the fridge only runs on gas,the socket at the rear doesn't work and I seem to have done something to the water heater as that isn't working either. Does anyone know where the fuses are,as I only have the handbook for other models and not our particular one.

Is the 230V live for the rest of the caravan?

Are you on a campsite plugged into the ehu? It's possible you have tripped the ehu so nothing to do with caravan. Get site owner to untrip ehu. Hairdyers can be rated at over 2kw & can easily trip an ehu if you are running other things as well.

Inside the caravan there will be a consumer unit. Usually close to where you plug in the EHU cable outside.

All the switches should be up. Try it. If t doesn't work put all switches down. Try it.

If that doesn't work check the trips on the site EHU panel where you plugged the other end of your EHU cable.
