Supply for a camper van.

AncientMariner
A neighbour has just bought a camper van and I noticed that it is plugged into a garage socket whilst it is on the drive. I guess this so that they can do any fitting out it needs and keeping it's battery charged.


Having been reading the posts on EV charging, I am wondering whether similar requirements would apply to a regular 13A socket whether inside the garage, or outside the garage?  The supply is 1-phase TN-S

    "its the supplier who has the duty to comply" Not true, It is the designer/specifier/installer who must be clear of their of their reasons and acknowledge their accountability in making such a decision.

    Odd then that the actual law under regulation 9(4) of the ESQCR say "The distributor shall not connect his combined neutral and protective conductor to anymetalwork in a caravan or boat." with no mention of a similar duty for the consumer.


    It would also be interesting to know what precautions the DNOs take to ensure that consumers do not have existing earth connections to caravans or boats before converting existing parts of the network to PME.
