does anyone know a good place on internet to purchase the kit to replace my internal electrics.Ive got a vanagon with american sockets and wiring.I just want to put in a couple of uk sockets,ive not got a leasure battery and dont want one at present,as funds are limited.So just new wire,fusebox and sockets,ive purchased a uk t25 mains hook up for the outside from ebay,so just need the rest..

Screwfix I would say.

Towsure might be a good place to start if you're unsure what to order

I have deleted my previous (incorrect post) and added some info below. If you build your own circuit you should really have a MCB and an RCD. Seek advice from a sparky. Use the advice on the forum but check it with a professional.

You can buy garage kits with an RCD and 2 MCB in a box for around £30 from the like of screwfix etc.

For information:
MCB: A miniature circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit.

RDC: A residual-current device (RCD), similar to a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric current is not balanced between the energized conductor and the return neutral conductor. Such an imbalance is sometimes caused by current leakage through the body of a person who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit. A lethal shock can result from these conditions. RCDs are designed to disconnect quickly enough to mitigate the harm caused by such shocks

RCBO: An RCBO (residual current breaker with overload protection) is a device that is a combination of both of the above.

If you overload it you will trip the hook up breaker and sods law it will be raining when ya do If it was a single socket then it will max at 13A due to fuse size so probably would not do it then. Still a not a brilliant idea though. Fit a fuse board with a 30mA rcd up front and segregate your circuits.
