Caravan hook up
Former Community Member
Hi I am fitting a caravan hook up on the wall next to the dno incomer box. No wires exposed. Do I still require an earth rod. The earth bond will be prob 1 ft long inside so not exposed. I know if I fit the box away using swa then yes earth rod would be used.
I think the Wiring Regulations are written with the thought that caravans will be set up and used in the middle of a field, rather than on a house driveway that may have metal water and gas supply pipes running buried under it along with electricity cables as well as possibly telephone and other cables.
So simply hammering a rod in may create more problems than it resolves unless carefully considered.
