Hello there,

We have a Bailey Olympus 525 and for our hols this year we would like an Outwell patio heater for the awning - thing is we don't have an electric socket available for use in the awning.  Whilst we could feed one through a window this isn't ideal. 

Is it possible to get one fitted or could it be done by ourselves?  Possibly putting one inside the outdoor locker...?  Does it affect your insurance if you do have one fitted?

Many thanks in advance,

Emma.

If you do any modifications to your caravan then the insurance company has to be notified. If you fail to update your insurance details and you have to make a claim for any reason the insurance will refuse to pay out and this is identical with any insurance policy. The facts are that there is nothing stopping you from installing an extra electrical circuit but the advice is to have the work undertaken professionally so that you have an invoice with a satisfaction guarantee of workmanship. If anything then does go wrong in the future then at least you are legally covered by both the electrical fitter and the insurance.
