Hi, I have an electric coolbox that I want to run in the awning. Is my only option to get a power socket installed on the outside of the van? There's no adapter I can get to get power off the ehu cable is there?
Sorry - probably a daft question!
Ian

I don't have an outside socket. Looks like I may need to get one installed.

Have seen people with extension cable going through the window. Didn't fancy doing this so we had external socket fitted.

Thank you both. Roughly how much does it cost to get an external socket fitted.

You'd need a definitive answer from a dealer, but I queried with ours the cost of an external gas bbq point - cost was £135 (+VAT) - I would imagine there would be a similar amount of work for an electric point.

Without having a external socket fitted you could buy a 3 way splitter for your mains we had ours from towsure then run a tripped camping socket to your awning this is exactly how we run our cool box.

Hi tom tickle yes it is . We plugged it in the post then run 1 lead to the caravan and plugged the camping tripped one straight in the awning .

Would you not just need a two way splitter and mains electric cable unit thingy? Or does it have to be 3 way splitter? I am thinking of doing this too.
