Could or should I buy one of those plug in circiut breakers just to be sure?


Several people have posted pictures of what hookup leads designed for camping look like, I cant see any sensible person advising the use of anything else for hookup.

Totally agree with Stuart on this one - you don't get a refund on life!

As a sparky I'd say it looks fine - 16A may be a little optimistic for some sites and the 10A option may be better but it's not essential. It *is* RCD protected which is the main thing.

I must agree with Srnet ( and I know he doesn't really approve of EHU in tents anway ! ), but I do use EHU in a large tent and wouldn't entertain the idea without a properly manufactured unit,...

By the way Srnet - where have you been hiding !?
