Good morning, I'm looking for some advice.
I have a static caravan, and recently, when I visit I have taken to using the granny charger overnight with a cable passed through a window.
Ideally, I would like an externally rated socket attatched to my deck for this purpose.
Once the socket is fitted, I was hoping to run 2.5mm armoured cable from the outside socket under and into the van, with an RCD plug attached at the other end of the cable.
This means I can simply plug the RCD plug into a spare, out of the way socket in the caravan, which in turn is easily isolated when I am not on site.
The caravan is only four years old, so I would presume the electrics are up to date.
I had a look online and can easily buy the 2.5mm, 3 core armoured cable at my required length. The outdoor rated socket is also easily available.
The RCD plug I looked at was the 'Masterplug' but this will only take cable up to a diameter of 1.5mm and overall diameter of 10mm.
Can I ask, is my setup overkill, how can adapt the configuration to suit my needs?
I have tried to include as much relevant information as possible, nothing worse that half a story
Many thanks for any advice given
