Rcd consumer units

[Ads1987]

Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of redoing the camper interior, unfortunately it was bodged together rather badly.

The current rcd unit for the 240v mains looks like a normal domestic unit and the wiring inside was shoved in and wires were touching each other.

So I want a new unit, a little lost as what to buy but think I've found a good one? It's going to power the fridge and two sockets. The idea is to wire it in and then get it checked properly just in case.

Does this unit look good?

Just installed the same in my van - its fine and nice and compact. Run the fridge on its own mcb circuit and 2 sockets off the second. Wiring is fine but a little tight inside the enclosure. The mcbs came ready connected to the rcd so you just wire your lives to the top of the respective mcbs and the neutrals to a common block as normal. There is a separate earth block. Use a decent size link cable from the rcd to the hook up socket.

That's a brilliant answer thanks for that !

Caravan/Camper RCD's are just domestic garage consumer units, usually fitted with a 6A and a 10A MCB so as not to inadvertently overload the 16A supply cable.

That's good to know thanks, I thought they were different somehow
