On arrival at caravan site

▲ Before connecting the caravan installation to the main supply:
▲ Check that the mains supply is suitable for your installation and appliances, i.e. whether
it is a.c. or d.c. and whether it is at the correct voltage, frequency and polarity.
▲ Check that your installations will be properly earthed. Never accept a supply from a
socket outlet or plug having only two pins, or from a lighting outlet.
▲ Check that any residual current device (earth leakage circuit breaker) in the mains supply
to the caravan has been tested within the last month. After connection to site supply, test
again.
● Make sure that the switch at the site supply point is off.
● Make sure that the caravan RCD unit is switched off.
● Remove any cover from the electricity inlet provided on the caravan, and insert the
connector of the supply flexible cable.
● Remove any cover from the socket outlet provided at the site supply point, and connect
the plug at the other end of the supply flexible cable to this. Switch on the main switch at
the site supply point.
● Switch on the caravan RCD unit.
In case of doubt, consult the site owner or his agent.
