I know there is some 'sparks' guys on here and I have been reading the posts but cannot get the answer I need.

I have one of those sunncamp tent hook ups with mcbs on. The cable was damaged and needs replacing. Inside there is No earth connector but the cable is 3 core with an earth wire.

Is it right that there is no earth? basically connecting only live and neutral to the mcb?

Can anyone out there provide advice?

The live and neutral should go to the MCB the earth wire should go to a common earth point in the housing as shown above.

While you're at it, is it possible to rotate the sockets through 90deg so that plug cables don't foul on the socket below? (Haven't had a look, but being as Saxo1 you've had the top off thought you might know).

i did in ours (not sure who made it though) but i had to put a slightly longer bit of earth wire in to reach the bottom socket after it was rotated ,the screws just screw into the next set of holes already there
