Petkula73 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi Wonder if anyone knows the answer to this... We are planning a camping trip in Jan and will have a powered site. We've done this previously in Europe with no issues - you just by an electric hook up with an RCD and powerboard on the other end and away you go. I've looked and looked on the internet and they don't seem to sell them here though, so it seems you need to buy a 15 amp 15m long cable to run in to the campsite power, then connect it presumably to a 10 amp RCD and run a surge protected trailer socket off it? All seems very Heath Robinson to me. Am I missing something here? I'm hugely paranoid around electricity, so looking for belt and braces approach. I know all Australian campsites theoretically have RCDs by law but personally I'm not trusting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johndoe Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The supply that you attach to should be surge protected and are trustworthy IME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petkula73 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 The supply that you attach to should be surge protected and are trustworthy IME That's true, but I think in any situation where you have electricity and water in close proximity should be treated with extreme caution. I think sparkies say "one flash and you're ash". Therefore, personally I prefer to have my own RCD and power surge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
