This may seem a stupid question,I have a freedom caravan it has a 3pin socket on the front of one of the seats I use this for tv .We just unplug if we need to use anything else. The other day I was switching  the power on when we hooked up and noticed two EU sockets and another 3pin socket in the underneath locker near the battery and the charger I think thats what it's called. Are these 12v or 240v I can't find anything in the caravan manual to explain these sockets.Anyone with a Freedom who knows what voltage these are please.

The only real way of finding out is to test with a meter.  Normally, 12v plugs and sockets are tiny (about 1" square) and only 2 pin, but you never know what a previous owner may have installed.

3 pin is usually 240 volt.

12 volt plug
