You will need the following:-

25m hook-up cable with a circuit breaker incorporated.( have a look here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/default.asp?t=252&p=0&d=56 )

A continental 2 pin adaptor

Polarity tester

and ideally a switch over cable as this will prevent you needing rewire one end of you cable should you come across reverse polarity.
