There has been very comprenhesive explanations of this in the past.
Type "polarity", in the search engine for the equipment section.

I have travelled throughout Europe, and only needed a reverse polarity lead once.

Better take one just in-case, ask your local caravan dealer or equipment shop. We have a normal blue connector, with a European 2-pin plug attached to connect to the site's supply.

All I can say is that you have been very lucky! We have just returned from France and stayed at 6 campsites in all and from memory at least two had reverse polarity. I find this is not an uncommon ratio.

So what happens if you plug into a reverse polarity connection with a normally wired lead?...what dont work?....I presume it's ok for lighting?
