If it doesn’t trip, turn the power off again, unplug the lead from your ’van, make sure the exposed lead end is in a dry place where nobody will go near it, and switch the power back on. These cables with extra USB ports are useful as they free up the 3 pin plugs for your main appliances. These sockets are the kind with a hinged cover over the plug(s), and a tight seal around the live parts when snapped shut.

If that is the case you should be fine as long as your daughter doesn't use any high-amperage appliances such as a heater. I'm now on my second New California- I P/E the first after less than 3 years ownership from new and it needed yet another roof repair. My personal recommendation is for the Crusader EHU but I’ve selected 2 others you may want to consider in my article for the 3 best electric hook up cables for camping and caravanning.Additionally, on many campsites, the supply is also routed through the site’s RCD and MCB breakers before it gets to the hook-up socket – these lend added protection to your vehicle’s circuits, as well as the hook-up lead itself.

Has now had roof pump replaced so New Cali now on drive with roof up so that I can see when/if it drops. An essential for any family camping or caravanning trip; this great value 3-socket mains kit makes it easy and safe to connect your tent to the campsite's electrical hook.

The CAMC does not allow splitters, but it does not have many sites that allow tents so it�s unlikely to be a deal breaker. Your appliances such as hair dryers, straighteners, heaters, fridges etc will all have a power requirement measured in Watts. This will keep it away from water should you get waterlogged (it can happen without warning sometimes! Bare this in mind when you plug things in as you can easily trip out the post if you are overloading it, you may also trip out your fellow campers ( yes I have seen it happen ). If none of these cause problems, the fault must lie with any appliances that were plugged in at the time of the electrical trip, so avoid using them until they have been professionally checked.The misconception of MCBs or fuses in a house is that they are there to protect you against electric shock whereas they are actually there to protect the cabling behind the walls of our properties from failing through over current (fire etc). Provided that the leak is small, the amount of electricity being drawn through the MCB will be within its limits. Whether you're just getting started or an experienced climber, whatever your adventure needs, we have the gear.
