Specifically designed for the safe connection of caravan and motor homes on camp sites, where they are commonly referred to as 'caravan hook ups'.
Volkswagen California campers are fitted with an inlet which has a rather restrictive clearance for the connected socket; as a result the majority of 16A sockets do not fit. These cables are fitted with connectors which we've tested with California owners, to ensure compatibility.
The internet seems to be awash with cheap caravan hook-ups using 1.5mmsq orange or blue artic cable. As 1.5mmsq cable is underrated and artic cable also has poor resistance to both mechanical/UV damage and should not be used below -5C, we won't entertain using it. They also do not comply with the requirements of BS7671 IEE for connecting caravans (2.5mmsq minimum cable required).
In contrast, our leads are carefully constructed in our UK workshop from marine grade 2.5mmsq H07BQ-F rubber cable, which offers many of the benefits of black H07RN-F rubber, with the advantage of being bright orange. We are the only UK supplier to provide this superior cable, which has a silicone appearance and is exceptionally tough.
Please see our guide for the definitive source of information on connecting caravans and motorhomes to campsites, domestic sockets, generators and EV charging points across the UK, Europe and Scandinavia.
We offer a range of cable storage solutions to keep your lead neat and tidy.
