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.
Thousands of orange PVC flexes across wet camp sites don't appear to have shown any problems in practice - and most of them have been in the wet for much more than a couple of days. I still fear we're solving a theoretical problem at the expense of practical ones.

I think the issue is more that cable harmonization has progressed, we're no longer using the former British Standards for flexible cables - this change occurred for 17th Edition (16th AMD2 permitted H05VV-F as well as H07RN-F), so it's been in place for over 12 years!
