In the past I have fitted extra sockets inside the caravan by running a spur from and existing socket. An alternative would be to use a 4 gang extension socket. This is not a bad solution if you want to run relatively low wattage items like TV or phone chargers. As far as outside sockets it depends where you want to fit them. All outside sockets need to be protected from dirt and damp. The options seem to be, a) fit an external socket through the wall of the van, perhaps best left to the professionals, b) fit a socket in and outside locker, but would still need a hinged flap and c) fit a socket to the underside of the caravan but the socket would need to be weather proof.

If its still under warrenty then it has to be carried out by a professional.  We are looking into getting a new van and were quoted £150 for them to fit one socket!!!  If your van is not under warrenty then i can't see why you shouldn't fit one yourself if you know what you are doing. 

The sockets are not expensive to buy nor is the cable

running to hide now cos i will be sworn at for saying you could probably do it yourself lol
