You could use one but the output from the site box would still be 16 amp max if you were lucky.

So say 5 amps per van or 1.25kw each

The 2 main clubs ask people not to use more than 1kw per hook up at peak times when the sites are full

The site owner might not like it either 

going away a bit,i once saw two caravans arrive one was mum and dad and the other was daughter and hubby plus one small child,anyway they pitched up across from us and dad plugged up the mains as usual,they then proceeded to plug in a long heavy wire going from dads van to daughters van, presume to pay only one electric hook up.i thought to myself is that legal?more to the point is it safe???? club site too.

Its not unusual for people to go on rallies and specify no hook up.

They then put the steward in an embarassing position of having to say pay up or unplug.

Some people have been known to plug in overnight to charge batteries/watch TV etc

Scott do you have an RCD etc in the seperate lead?

If you connect first to the van and then have an awning socket off the van system you are protected by the van trips etc

Sounds like a good system

I only asked because its not uncommon in Europe to see a hook up plug(van end) that has a 2pin + earth socket built in to it and that then relies entirely on the integrity of the site supply
