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

    To clarify, the supply in question is TN-S and not PME/TNCS with the lead sheath of the PILC cable.


    Both houses built circa 1957. As I have previously posted, when we had our meter moved in 2002, I was offered PME/TNCS on the day if I wished for it instead of the TN-S as it was with the PILC cable into the cutout. (They used split-con and I watched the DNO's Jointer sweat the 5 un-insulated copper earth conductors onto the lead sheath.)


    Going back to the early 1970s when we were house hunting, I noticed at a recently built house in Chester. there was a P.M.E. warning label on either the cut-out or adjacent to it on MANWEBs board. The house we eventually bought in 1973, in Wales but still within MANWEB's area, was TN-S. Again split-con from the cut-out next door which was supplied by a PILC cable.


    Surely if a DNO is changing the earthing method, at the very least they should notify the house holder, even if the householder does not understand the technicalities?
