Erm, would anybody like to buy this????

Definitely won't be using it, it scares me to have it in the house now!!!  I bought it before I found this site. Just shows how helpful this site is - and the members. Thanks everybody

I am going to try and complain to e-bay about these things.

these people are making a fortune out of them. I used to work in electrical wholesaling and the total cost for that would be about £8 - £10.

Many sites would not let you use that one.

make sure you complain to e-bay ros.

best of luck, simon 

Just remove the blue plug and fit a normal 3 pin plug for use around the home. You might be able to sell the blue plug on e-bay!

Or

remove the 4 way extension and fit a female blue plug and use it as an extension for a proper EHU cable. Then use the 4 way extension for the home connected to a proper cable and plug.

volt works I am suprised at you saying that would be safe in a TENT no protection against damp at all on that Home made thing and the lead does not look as heavy as the one we bought from sutterton caravan and camping last year

Hi,

I've seen them being sold on ebay and thought they had to have orange/yellow flex. Is this not the case? would anyone buy one which had RCD from ebay or is that dodgy?Would be grateful if anyone out there has any info on where I can buy one locally at a reasonable cost.

Thanks

There is no real rule as to the colour of the flex although the more it stands out the better, you dont want black flex in the mud for instance. If you wanted to buy one on ebay have a look at peoples feedback, thats a really good indication as to how happy people are, and ask around if someone has bought a lead they are happy with that would be a good place to start. I would say that buying from a campsite can be expencive as they have a high markup (just like the bacon and eggs). There are lots of different leads for different people, have a think what you will be using it for then you can decide which is best for you.

Hope this helps

Thanks Volt I will have a look about first.

do not !! go by peoples feedback on ebay ,people leave feedback as soon as they have recieved an item ,before they have even used it ( this applys to most things on bay )

Volt would you by any chance be the seller of one of these crappy hook ups ?
