About this deal

Genuine caravan hookup cables will be orange, making it highly visible. The colour of the cable is very important because it needs to be visible between the grass and gravel at your caravan pitch.

Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house. Watts is used to measure electrical power and amps is used to measure electrical current. An electrical appliance uses a current that’s measured in watts. For instance, most, common hairdryers use a current of 6.5 amps or 1500 watts. Ideally, you want a hookup cable that is easy to use every time. You have enough to worry about when you go caravanning, so the last thing you want to do is have to spend hours trying to troubleshoot and issue when the best cables allow you to just plug in to use. IP Rating

It certainly won't be greater than 2. 5mm but at a glance it depends on the outside diameter of the cable, my 2. 5mm is 10mm in diameter, 1. 5mm will be 8mm, Arctic might be fractionally larger. You can also avoid accidents by investing in an RCD or residual-current device (also known as a residual-current circuit breaker). This is a special device that will switch off an electrical circuit that is unsafe. The Equipment You Need and Where to Get It An IP rating is short for the term Ingress Protection mark which is a two-digit grading system that’s ingrained onto the enclosure of electrical items so customers can see how effective the item is at resisting intrusion to unwanted substances. All cable is rated by the cross sectional area of the wire, ie, 1mm, 1. 5mm, 2. 5mm etc and this directly relates to the current, (amps), it can carry over a certain distance, the colour of the outer sheaf is irrelevant in this respect. Although mains leads are not essential for a successful caravan, motorhome or campervan trip, it can make your time on the road that little bit more relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable.

It’s important to understand the rating of your cable because to meet the IEE regulations it needs to be a 2.5mm core mains lead. We recommend that you avoid purchasing caravan hook up cables that have a rating lower than IP44. Cable Rating Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. Also, make sure you invest in an RCD which, as explained above, will avoid accidents and potential injury. These devices shut off automatically if they detect a problem with the circuit.div>


The material of the hookup cable is important because throughout all its use it’ll be outdoors so it needs to be able to withstand the natural UK elements which can often include spells of wind and rain. The best cables will be covered in a PVC sheath that gives it all-round protection. Some of these lower quality leads are made in people’s homes so they haven’t been produced at a commercial level which could mean that they haven’t been properly safety tested. They may look good on the outside, but there’s no way of telling if they’ve been wired correctly on the inside. Warranty A normal kettle uses 2000W, or 8.7A. Therefore, we recommended above that you take special low-watt appliances. That one household item would use all the power from a 10A hook up. Although, as we noted earlier, EHU cables come in a variety of lengths, we recommend you should invest in a one of 25 metres so that you have enough to stretch to the bollard, even if your pitch is further away than you expected.

As for where orange comes into it, I'd imagine it's the brightest colour next to yellow to use for visibility and adopted simply for that pupose. ... or maybe Flymo have something to do with it So, avoid that from happening by choosing the equipment carefully to avoid damaging both your reputation and appliances. What Do the Cables Look Like? so what is the cross sectional area of the typical 25m length of orange 'hook-up' cable that is supplied with a caravan . . is it 2. 5mm or is it greater than that?
