You use your existing EHU then buy another male/female (I don't know which one) but it needs to fit into the end you would normally plug in on site. Now using the new fitting and a length of proper weight/amp cable and a plug make a wee mini extension.... Plug into the house connect to the EHU and bobs your uncle.

I got my fitting from CEF (City Electrical Factors)

On the other hand, you could wire a proper socket and do the job properly

we have a "garage" fitting which just lets you plug the lead directly into this socket and thus the mains as a permenant fitting.
the ones though above are fine for temporary use

Ebay is not always that cheap, i tend to check out the price of thinks at local camping shops and internet sites before ebay as i have found ebay P&P costs more than the item it's self on small items.

at £5 its not worth making one, to get a plug, is about 3.50, a 13A plug another 50p, then the bit of cable, and time making it, you might safe a few pence.

I made my own, but 16A ceeforms are somthing I have laying around anyway!
