Product Information
Full details
The Crusader 10m Mains Hook Up Lead is designed for caravanners, motorhomers, and campervan owners needing a reliable power connection on UK campsites. Its key benefit is providing a safe and visible link to 230V site hook-ups, though users should ensure their vehicle's power inlet is compatible with the standard blue 16A CEE connector. This durable, high-visibility orange lead offers a practical 10-meter length for various pitch sizes, featuring robust connectors for secure and consistent power delivery.

FAQs
What voltage and amperage does this lead support?
The Crusader 10m Mains Hook Up Lead supports 230 V and a maximum of 16 A, which is standard for most UK campsites.
Is this lead suitable for European campsites?
No, this lead is specifically designed for UK campsite hook-ups using the 16A blue CEE 3-pin connectors. European sites often use different connector types and voltages.
How do I clean the mains hook-up lead?
You can clean the lead using a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lead is completely dry before storing or using it.
What does '1.5 mm² (3-core copper)' mean?
This refers to the thickness of the copper conductors within the cable, indicating they are suitable for carrying the specified 16A current safely. '3-core' means it has the necessary wires for live, neutral, and earth connections.
Can I use this lead for a motorhome with a higher power requirement than 16A?
No, this lead is rated for 16A. If your motorhome requires more than 16A, you will need a lead specifically designed for higher amperage connections.
What is included in the box?
The box contains one 10-meter mains hook-up lead with a blue 16A plug on one end and a blue 16A coupler on the other.
Troubleshooting
No power to the vehicle.
Check that the hook-up point at the campsite is active. Ensure the lead is fully plugged into both the hook-up point and the vehicle's inlet. Inspect the lead for any visible damage. Try a different hook-up point if available.
Loose connection at the hook-up point or vehicle inlet.
Ensure the blue connectors are the correct type for your socket/inlet. Gently push the connector further in. If the socket or inlet itself is damaged, contact the campsite or a qualified technician.
Cable feels stiff or difficult to handle.
This may occur in very cold weather. Allow the cable to warm up indoors for a while before attempting to connect or coil it. Store the cable at moderate temperatures when not in use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High visibility orange cable minimizes trip hazards.
- Standard UK campsite connectors ensure broad compatibility.
- Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.
- Generous 10m length provides flexibility.
- Secure connectors offer reliable power transfer.
Cons
- Limited to 16A (230V) connections; not suitable for higher power requirements.
- The blue connector type may not be universally compatible with all non-UK or older site hook-ups.
- Requires an appropriate inlet on the caravan or motorhome.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the blue 3-pin CEE plug into the designated 230V site hook-up point at your campsite. Then, connect the blue coupler end to the corresponding mains inlet on your caravan, motorhome, or campervan. Ensure both connections are firm and secure before powering on any appliances.
Compatibility: This lead is designed for use with standard UK campsite hook-up sockets (16A, 230V, blue CEE 3-pin type). Your vehicle must have a compatible mains inlet socket. It is not suitable for European 2-pin sockets or high-amperage industrial connectors.
Care: After use, disconnect the lead from both the hook-up point and your vehicle. Store the lead in a clean, dry place, coiled loosely to prevent kinks. Periodically inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or loose connections. Do not use the lead if any damage is detected. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
