I have looked through the message boards but not fiound what I'm looking for; I could have missed it

I keep my caravan at the side of my house. 

I want to connect mains electric to my caravan via a lead.

Is it possible to buy a cable with a standard 3 pin electric plug on one end and the plug into the caravan on the other.

I just want to 'air' and warm up the van prior to going away.

Are there any problems doing this?

thanks in advance.

Typical; I post the message and find this.

http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan/electric/230v_Plugs_and_sockets/Mains_Connections.aspx

Its the top one in the list called a 'mains hook-up UK'.

Has anyone used one?

We have the one you plug into the house socket its fab for when I bring my caravan home to clean it.  I've certainly not found any problem with mine.
