Hi all i apologise if this is in wrong section and also if its a ridiculously easy (stupid) question
the campsites i have been to so far have always supplied me an electric hookup power lead for a small deposit or license etc,
i am going away this May bank holiday weekend to a new site and unsire if they will have the leads plus its about time i got my own, so where as before the site gave me the right lead i am a little confused as to what lead to buy have seen a lead on amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Metre-Caravan-E ... 313&sr=1-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but it says its for a 16 AMP connection , i have looked on the campsites setup and its 10AMP .... i have no idea about electricity conversion or how it all works and i dont want to be the pleb that cuts out the sites power due to my own lack of knowledge also dont want it to be dangerous in anyway, can anyone enligten me as to if this lead will be ok or what lead i would need to buy...
again if its a ridiculous question im sorry but can i still get the answer please :oops: :run

It's the correct one ... '16 amp' is the round blue plug's rating.
