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 am going to be a little mischievous and ask what penalty a consumer might face when he plugs in his caravan, be it in the driveway or elsewhere.
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I'd have to say none, because the obligation is on the distributor.
I think that the distributor may have the powers to require the consumer to not connect a caravan on risk of disconnection ... but of course, if it's a plug-in unit, then I guess that's not going to be easy to resolve, meaning it's easier to let it go.
As for the other assertions regarding static caravan etc., the original DTI Guidance on ESQCR 2002, in its commentary on 9(4) - see Page 20 - does not make the distinction, and talks about all caravans and boats.
