FAQs

What is the main purpose of this cable?

This cable is designed to provide a reliable 240V mains power connection for caravans, motorhomes, catering trailers, and generators at campsites or events.

What type of power source does it connect to?

It connects to a 16A power source, often found at designated campsite hook-up points.

What is the output capacity of the cable?

The cable converts the 16A input to a 13A output, suitable for most standard UK appliances.

Can I use this cable with any generator?

Yes, provided your generator has a compatible 16A outlet to connect the blue 3-pin plug.

Is this cable suitable for indoor use?

While durable, it is primarily designed for outdoor and campsite use. Indoor use is possible if a compatible 16A outlet is available and safety precautions are followed.

How should I clean the cable?

Wipe the cable with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before coiling and storing.

What should I do if the cable appears damaged?

If you notice any cuts, fraying, or damage to the cable or plugs, discontinue use immediately for safety reasons.

Troubleshooting

No power at connected appliance

Check that the cable is securely plugged into both the 16A power source and your vehicle/equipment. Verify that the 16A power source is active and providing electricity. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Cable feels hot during use

Immediately disconnect the cable and inspect it for damage or overloading. Ensure you are not exceeding the 13A output capacity for your connected appliances. If the cable is damaged, discontinue use.

Plug is difficult to insert into power source

Ensure you are using a compatible 16A socket. Do not force the plug; check for any obstructions or bent pins on both the plug and the socket. If pins are bent, do not attempt to use the cable.
