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.
Some years ago “experts” on TV gardening shows and the like advised people to mow their lawns with the flex of their electric mower hung around their necks, so it wouldn’t get caught in the mower.
At lot of people still do it, I did it for a while many years ago, then thought better of it.
One of my neighbours does it and I find myself looking out of the corner of my eye to see if he’s still standing.
Reminds me a bit of the fact that many people actually still use the mains tester screwdiver even today and that includes many electricians (in the 60s 70s and 80s we were brought up on them. I remember the commect by our C & G 2391 tutor years ago "Who in their right mind would make themselves part of an electrical circuit?")

Anyone in favour of doing it?
I do it with a strimmer. I haven't strangled myself yet.
The flex goes over one shoulder, round the front of my neck, then under the other shoulder to the strimmer.
