Re: Fitting 240v hook up

Thanks for all the info 1664, I know exactly what I'm going to do now!

I think I'm mainly going to use the 10 amp for an oil filled radiator on those cold nights!

Re: Fitting 240v hook up

Do you mean have two 10amp sockets and use the 6amp circuit just for the charger?

I'm not planning on using the hook up all the time but would like it installed incase I want to use it, Plus I can plug it in at home to charge the battery before going away.

Re: Fitting 240v hook up

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll take your advice 1664 and have a double socket on a 6amp with the charger plugged into that with a single socket on the 10amp circuit.

Wish me luck!

Re: Fitting 240v hook up

Thanks for all the advice! Just googled it and my zig is a CP400 so just a distribution unit. Would I be ok to wire a socket to the 6amp circuit then take a feed from the socket for the trickle charger leaving the socket free too use? Or would a better idea be to use the 6amp circuit just for the ch...

Re: Fitting 240v hook up

Thanks for the help. I thought as it would be a 16amp circuit then I would get a 20amp rcd but I can't find one anywhere, it's ok to use a 40amp rcd instead though?? I'm also going to fit a trickle charger for the leisure battery for when we are on hook up as I have got fridge,lights & water pum...

Fitting 240v hook up

Hi everyone, I've decided to fit a 240v hook up into my T25, From looking at the forums I see that the most common mcb's used are 6amp & 10 amp. One thing I can't seem to find is what size rcd does everyone fit?? Also can you use the 1.5mm orange cable from the plug to the rcd or do you need to ...
