How much was that "Braked" conversion kit again

Don't even joke about it .........


That would mean a whole new Axl, wheels and hitch

4.99 toaster + £200+ on trailer.

That seems like a good deal, is the RCD on the drum or near the plug

Oh I know the one, its really watertight (inline on the cable).

[valleydaddy]

just got the last one out of B&Q in Cardiff

look a good bit of kit, will definately be of use and easy to roll up and store etc

thanks for the heads up on this topic folks

[dadoc2001]

So if peops are unable to take advantage of B&Q'S offer what links would others give to other good value electrical hookups? I have just booked 5 days at Faskally in Perthshire that has an electrical hookup as standard in its pitch charge. May as well get a Hookup before we head out then for our electrical gubbins

Take a look at this review and if you like it click on the Amazon link for a good price of £45.

Also take a look at Towsure the have a deal on it.



15m is usually enough, but so often it can be too short so its always worth considering an additional extension lead, this one is £22.45 and comes with a bag

[dadoc2001]

Thanks Wayne.

I had been looking at Sunncamp Hookups but the traditional scotsman is always trying to pay less . I have been watching a few of these on Ebay and they are going for £40-45 so clearly Towsure is the best bet. Cheers

but the traditional scotsman is always trying to pay less .

, your welcome

[dadoc2001]

Thanks again Wayne. After 'watching' a few new (and used ) Sunncamp H.U's going fro around £40 BEFORE P&P decided to order directly from Towsure this afternoon (£43.95 delivered). Tent is gonna be like a home from home now

Wayne... What's your opinion on these..

That looks like the Suncamp one we have, I assume it's a 25mA RCD not a 25A like it says in the details. (Ours has a 30mA RCD and pole 10A MCB)

Yeh I would think it means 25mA, which is a bit delicate, 30mA is the normal and is actually the one fitted as standard and by law to dwellings. Basically it means it will allow 25mA to flow to earth (or an inbalance between L and N if you prefer) before it trips, 30mA is bad enough. When you consider that everything leaks to earth and electronic stuff is the worst.

Yes it looks OK from the picture, but I like to have a hold of stuff like this before I fully commit myself. What's that I ear you say, I should go to "Go Outdoors" and have a look . As Andy say's it does look like the Suncamp one which is on a sale at Towsure at the moment.
