Control panel for leisure equipment

Post by Judelicious »

Does anyone know what the thing is between the two switches and the fuse box for leisure equipment on a 1983 autosleeper trooper? I have been told it is a fuse but it looks more like a 12v supply to me!?

12v din socket? - far better than cigarette lighter efforts.
Plugs easily available.

Yes I tried uploading a photograph but was unable to. No my panel is far simpler!! Where could I get a panel like yours?

I have subsequently found out it is a hella socket

Thanks

Hella are just a maker of din plugs and sockets! (Amongst many other electrical items), din is an acronym for a German standards organization.
