On arrival at site
1. Before connecting the motorhome
installation to the mains supply,
check that:

your installation and appliances,
i.e. whether it is a.c. or d.c. and
whether it is at the correct voltage
and frequency, and

earthed. Never accept a supply from a
socket outlet or plug having only two
pins, or from a lighting outlet.
(c) any residual current device (earth
leakage circuit breaker) in the mains
supply to the motorhome has been
tested within the last month.
In case of doubt, consult the site owner
or his agent.
