Hi, I have a westy lhd t25 it has the standard euro plug sockett in it and a branch off with 3 additional ones, I have purchased a travel adapter the euro to english one and plugged it in and tried some hair clippers but to no avail?? is it only 12v appliances i need to use, until i get on electric hook up?? Being new to this scene I have not got a clue

Yeah, I've got a Westy Joker too-1981-and the 2 Euro plug sockets in mine just work off the electric hook up. One under the rear seat, and one on the cupboard to the left of the fridge.

Dubstar, If yours does it as well it must be the norm i thought there was some kind of switch because it says on the test panel under the r and r bed 220v???

The 240V sockets in my Club Joker only work when the electric hook-up is plugged into the mains, you should have the original RCD and test switch in there as well.

If you want 240V without hook-up, you can buy an invertor to connect to your 12V leisure battery and run 240V stuff from that, watch the amps though.

yeah, you dont get 220v volts from any motor vehicle !! i like the idea though. save money on inverters eh ?

Mine doesn't have a test box under the seat. Probably cos it's an early one-1981-but I have hooked it up and in works ok. I had to plug a jigsaw in to make the speaker holes in the doors a bit bigger, and I couldn't find my extension lead, so I just pluged the hook up in, and used an adaptor on the jigsaw for the euro plug. Mine just has a black box to the left of the rear seat-underneath it-and this I believe is the unit for converting the voltage to 12v to charge the leisure battery. It looks like it could be part of the Eberspacher, but it's not. I think 240v going into it should be ok unless anyone else knows better?

Yes, the black box under the seat is the on-board battery charger, you should hear it switch in as soon as you plug in your land-line. I would seriously consider getting the elctrics wired through an RCD unit, 240V close to sinks and wet camping larks isn`t a good thing. Not a dera item to buy anyway, cheaper than a pine box
