Camping plug for elec hook up

8 replies

Hello.

Not the most exciting of threads but I do need some help.

I want an elec lead so I can have electricity when camping. Just for phone chargers really.

When I book I need to book a pitch that says "electric grass pitch".

Is this what I need?

We are in a tent not a caravan.

TIA

So we'd plug the blue end in to the hook up and then the plug bit where you would plug in your phones or whatever would be in the tent.

I take these are waterproof at the bit you plug in outside?

It's all very new to me.

Go Outdoors do a good one which includes USB ports and a circuit breaker. I'd say the latter is essential.
Yes the big blue bit plugs into the campsite power source and is waterproof.

Yes that looks correct, we have a reel type one from Go Outdoors as sometimes the plug is a distance from the tent.

Interested in this thread?

The circuit breaker is that to stop shocks at the end where all the devices are? If it did get wet at the outside end?

Aldi had them reduced to about £15 today. I think that they had circuit breakers but didn't look too closely.

A circuit breaker will protect any devices plugged in from power surges, such as during outages, storms etc. They are not just for camping, should be used at home too.
