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.
Then throw into the mix that whilst camping I have seen motor homes and caravans with two leads supplying them from two 16 amp site supplies at the same time.
One of my first thoughts when I saw one such arrangement using two pillars on separate pitches was that there is an assumption they are on the same phase, that’s assuming that the motor home users even realise that different pitches may be on different phases when they are running out the extended second extension lead, heaven only knows how the leads are connected internally within the motor home.. ?
If internally each inlet goes to its own CU, is there a problem if the outlets are on different phases?
