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 still think we've ended up swapping a mearely theoretical problem for a real actual one - I'm not at all surprised that the caravanning community are collectively ignoring the requirement to use black rubber. It doesn't do BS 7671's standing much good though.

BS 7671 does not mandate black rubber. There is no requirement for the rubber to be black (or orange for that matter).
BS 7671 can only specify standards that exist ... if there's a need for a standard for arctic flex, then the relevant committee should be lobbied ... it's not different to the ongoing discussion on SY and CY cables, is it?
