This is possibly the ONLY FULL IP44 RATED SCHUKO HOOK-UP ADAPTOR available on eBay.

Most others use Domestic / Household Schuko Plugs not intended for Outdoor Use. Many of those have no protection against Water Ingress and, often, use cable with individual wire cores of only 1.5mm sq or less.

Not only does the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment limit the Current for 1.5mm sq conductor to 15A and, obviously, even less for smaller conductors, both the Caravan Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club require Hook-Up Cables to use conductors of 2.5mm sq size.

At the extremes of power usage and at the full 25m length of any Hook-Up Cable, smaller than 2.5mm sq conductors can result in cables overheating and presenting a real fire and safety risk to your Caravan and Family Members. 

These adaptors use connectors protected against water ingress to the standard IP44 (suitable for use in heavy rain but not total immersion in water and exceeding any protection that an ordinary household plug can withstand) and capable of carrying currents up to 230V 16A, matching the supply capabilities of the bollard. They also use 2.5mm sq conductor cable which is actually rated up to 230V 25A, far in excess of anything that any site bollard is capable of supplying. Of 'Arctic Grade', they are also good for use well below freezing temperatures.

The Schuko Plug is a 'Dual Earth' design allowing it to be used in both French/Belgian and German/Austrian areas, and other countries that adopt these standards for electrical connection.

Safety Tested and Certified in accordance with the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Test of Electrical Equipment immediately prior to shipping, this adaptor will help you maintain the safety of your family, friends and caravan.

Together with the Polarity Reverse Adaptor we can also supply, this is one of the essential items that you need to hold in your equipment box if you are traveling throughout Europe.

Shipped Second Class Royal Mail, this ought to be with you within a few days of purchase.
