The SPARES2GO Caravan Mains Socket Inlet is designed for caravan, campervan, and motorhome owners who require a reliable and safe outdoor power connection. It provides a robust, IP44-rated splash-proof interface that ensures stable 240V electricity delivery while camping or traveling. While it is an essential component for your vehicle's electrical system, please be aware that installation requires professional electrical expertise, and you will need to source your own mounting hardware as screws are not included in the package.

No, the package does not include mounting screws, allowing you to choose the correct type for your vehicle's specific wall material.
It is rated IP44, which means it is splash-proof and protected against water spray from any direction, but it is not intended for total submersion.
For safety and legal compliance, it is strongly recommended that a qualified electrician performs the installation.
Yes, it is designed to meet IEC standards for 16A CEE outdoor power inlets used across UK and EU campsites.
The unit is rated for a 200-250V supply.
It stands for 2-pole plus earth, which is the standard configuration for safe, grounded 16A electrical connections.
Check if the 16A cable is fully inserted and the locking mechanism is engaged. Verify the campsite's circuit breaker has not tripped.
Inspect the hinge area for debris or obstruction. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if the spring mechanism is stiff.
Tighten the mounting screws and check the seal integrity. If the mounting surface is damaged, replace the sealant around the inlet perimeter.
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local regulations and to prevent fire or shock hazards. Before mounting, ensure the surface area is flat and clean. You will need to provide your own corrosion-resistant screws suitable for your caravan's sidewall material.
Care instructions include periodically inspecting the internal pins for signs of oxidation or wear. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior casing, and ensure the hinge mechanism is clear of dirt or grit to maintain the spring-loaded functionality. Never use harsh chemical cleaners on the plastic housing, as this may cause the material to become brittle over time.
