FAQs

Is this cable suitable for all types of caravans and motorhomes?

This cable is suitable for any caravan or motorhome equipped with a standard 3-pin CEE electric hook-up inlet and requires a 16A, 230V power supply. Always check your vehicle's power input specifications.

Can this cable be used in the rain?

Yes, the cable has an IP44 rating, which means it is protected against splashing water from any direction, making it suitable for use in typical outdoor and wet conditions at campsites.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The cable is rated for a maximum of 16 Amperes at 230 Volts, which translates to approximately 3680 Watts.

Why is the cable orange?

The bright orange color is for high visibility, helping to prevent accidental trips and making the cable easier to see in low-light conditions or amongst other equipment.

How should I store the cable when not in use?

Coil the cable loosely to avoid damaging the internal wires and store it in a dry location. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, which can shorten its lifespan.

What does '1.5mm²' refer to?

1.5mm² refers to the cross-sectional area of the copper conductors within the cable. A larger CSA like 1.5mm² indicates a thicker cable, which is better for carrying higher currents and minimizing voltage drop over longer distances.

Troubleshooting

No power to the vehicle.

Check that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Verify that the power source (campsite) is active. Ensure the campsite's circuit breaker or fuse has not tripped. Test the cable with another compatible appliance or power source if possible.

Cable feels warm during use.

Ensure the load does not exceed the 16A rating. If the load is within limits, inspect the cable and connectors for damage or poor connections, which can cause resistance and heat. Discontinue use if excessive heat is detected and consult a qualified electrician.

Connectors are dirty or corroded.

Disconnect the cable and clean the pins and sockets with a dry cloth. For stubborn corrosion, use a contact cleaner suitable for electrical connections, ensuring it is fully dry before reconnecting. If damage is present, replace the cable.
