EHU - what do I need to buy? Some sort of cable?

That's it really. Have an EHU pitch for first time so need to go buy whatever it is I need and I'm clueless. Don't want to buy the wrong thing!

You want something that looks like this

Both ends have damp-proofness bits, plus a cut out part. The orange cable is much thicker than ones meant for indoors. Shop around but I paid about £30 I think.

Thanks Smile I will def shop around as it's been a rather spendy month!

If you know a handy electrician you can buy the stuff to make a lead for under a tenner. Dh made ours and my sisters!

Don't get a cheapo Chinese one, people have had them blow their stuff up and its meant to be quite dodgy. I'd be worried about getting a massive shock.

That amazon one looks fine btw. I got mine from amazon and it was a bit cheaper than camping stores.

rocketeer unfortunately I don't know a handy electrician. Sad

Galaxy I am curious about your name. Is it referring to a whole galaxy (eg the milkyway) or galaxy the chocolate? Just wondering. Grin

I will have a price up in the local camping shop but if amazon is cheaper will order from there. Thanks for advice everyone.
