Our 230V plugs and sockets range covers everything you need for mains electrical connections in your caravan, motorhome, or campervan. You'll find CBE and C-Line interior sockets that fit into standard control panels, plus exterior mains inlets and weatherproof outlet boxes for hookup connections. The 13A UK sockets work with standard household plugs, whilst 16A industrial connectors handle higher loads like battery chargers and inverter feeds. Circuit breakers and RCD units protect your electrical system from faults, and mains testers help diagnose wiring problems at campsites.
Installation varies depending on what you're fitting - interior sockets need cutouts in wall panels and connection to your consumer unit, whilst exterior inlets require weatherproof mounting through the caravan skin. Most CBE and C-Line components use modular frames that accept different switch and socket combinations, making it easy to customise your electrical layout. You'll need proper IP ratings for exterior components - IP54 minimum for inlet sockets exposed to weather. Cable runs between exterior inlets and interior distribution boards need correct sizing and protection, typically 2.5mm twin and earth cable for standard 13A circuits.
Campsite electrical supplies aren't always reliable, and some older sites have reversed polarity or poor earthing that interferes with RCD protection. Mains testers become essential for checking supply quality before connecting expensive equipment like inverters or battery chargers. The 16A blue connectors used for caravan hookups follow different standards across Europe, so you'll need adaptors for continental touring. Interior socket placement needs careful planning too - most people underestimate how many 230V outlets they'll want, especially around kitchen and seating areas where laptops and phone chargers get used frequently.
