Product Information
Full details
The Ring RCT1660 is a heavy-duty 25-meter extension lead specifically engineered for caravanners and campers who require a dependable mains hook-up on site. It provides the essential bridge between site power pedestals and vehicle inlets with a focus on safety and durability; however, its substantial 25-meter length can be cumbersome to manage or coil when only a short distance is needed.

FAQs
Is this cable suitable for use in the rain?
Yes, the RCT1660 is designed with weatherproofing for outdoor use, though you should avoid submerging the plugs in standing water.
Does this cable include a surge protector?
No, this is a standard mains extension lead and does not feature built-in surge protection.
Can I use this cable with household appliances?
This cable uses CEE industrial connectors (16A), which are not compatible with standard household three-pin wall sockets.
What is the maximum amperage for this lead?
The RCT1660 is rated for 16A, which is the standard for most European caravan hook-ups.
Should I leave the cable coiled while in use?
It is recommended to fully uncoil the cable during use to allow for proper heat dissipation, especially when running high-draw appliances.
Troubleshooting
No power reaching the caravan
Check that the site pedestal breaker is on and the connections at both ends are fully seated and locked.
Intermittent power supply
Inspect the cable for any physical damage and ensure the connectors are clean and free of dirt or moisture.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready to use out of the box with factory-fitted connectors
- High-visibility orange cable minimizes trip hazards
- Weatherproof rating suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure
- Complies with rigorous BS safety standards
Cons
- The 25-meter length requires significant storage space when coiled
- Cable is relatively stiff due to its heavy-duty outdoor construction
- Large footprint may be excessive for smaller camping pitches
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the lead, simply plug the male end into the site supply and ensure the socket is locked firmly into your vehicle's inlet. Always inspect the cable for nicks, cuts, or crushed sections before each use. To maintain the life of your RCT1660, store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use and keep it free of sharp bends or tight kinks that could damage the internal conductors. Never force the connection if you feel resistance; inspect the pins for debris or corrosion instead.
