Caravan hook up

Former Community Member
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.

    Got me thinking about my caravan.

    It's  two year old touring van parked next to garage. It's built onto a Al-Co metal frame and timber and plastic construction.

    Has a DP RCD and DP mcbs. Our supply is TT 3Ø 100amp per phase. To caravan is 2.5 6242Y from 16A mcb to Canavan supply box with 30mA DP RCCD.

    I think everything is covered at home!


    Out and about, we have never been on a site but in fields using only battery power (large solar anel on roof) and gas heating/cooking and hot water.

    Water from stand pipe to 50l water barrel and onboard WC cassette emptied into elson point.


    None of this nanby-pamby going to sites with showers, toilet blocks and washing machines.
