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

    I does seem reasonable Clive but I`m afraid not. The just Joint the N & E then bring it to the cutout as TNC-S with adjoining properties not far away they also effectively have a pretty much TNC-Sish supply too


    That was exactly my experience. When my service cable was "PME'd" under the lawn, I asked why they would not repair the poor joint. I was told that all the lamp posts are "PME'd" anyway so it wouldn't make any difference. I assume that meant that there were N-E bonds at each one +/- some form of earth connexion. So if you don't know, you'd say TN-S 'cos that's what it looks like.
