Electricity supply

As well as the traditional 12 volt battery electrics, almost all new tourers and motorhomes have the option to plug in on-site to mains electricity. This enables you to use most electrical appliances, like TV, fridge, microwave, hairdrier etc.

• Even if you use on-site mains electricity, it may be wise to carry a 12v leisure battery as back-up power
• Do not run your caravan fridge on its internal 12v battery except while coupled to the car, or it will flatten the battery
• Be familiar with all fuses and their location
• If fitting mains electricity to your older caravan or motorhome, employ a qualified technician
• Do not overload the mains or you may blow the park's fuse!
