Caravan electrical hook up?

I've been asked to install a supply to a hook up for a caravan in a garden.

I see that the connection of a PME earthing facility to any metal work is prohibited, is there anything else I may have overlooked?


Thanks in advance :)

  • 708 does not apply by virtue of their being only one caravan. That is not to say that guidance therein should be set aside. However, any risk from a connection to a TNCS terminal for a single caravan for occasional use in someone’s back garden is likely to be close to zero. Had your clients simply asked you to provide a weather proof socket in their back garden for general use, then other than the additional protection and depth of cable, no special precautions would be necessary. If they wanted to use it to plug in their touring caravan that would be their prerogative. 

    you will note that not even the ultra-cautious bods at electrical Safety First have raised any concerns about hook ups to the thousands of vans sitting in driveways across the U.K.
