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.
In what way is this suggestion different from hundreds of items of street furniture?
Possibly it's somewhat more likely that someone will take a firm grip of a caravan door handle/frame while entering/exiting (probably many times and hour if loading/unloading) - I suspect the numbers for touching the local lamppost would be somewhat lower.
Also the additional electrodes for street lighting are likely to be reasonably effective given the small loads - a caravan hooked up to a 100A domestic PME supply won't have that luxury.

Here in London we have EV charging points attached to lampposts. This firm char.gy take on average 90 minutes to install them, and mention that earth mats and/or rods might be needed.
