Do you mean a 3 way splitter?, if so then no nearly all sites don't allow them.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
EHU splitters allowing 2 EHU kits to be hooked up to one EHU socket on the bollard are not allowed at some of the sites I have visited, such as the CAMC Penrhos Club Site in North Wales, due to risk of overloading, etc. etc...

Both big clubs have a blanket ban on 'splitters' across all their sites (it's in their T & Cs), many other sites also specifically ban them.
Think it's mostly to limit overloading the EHU bollard, but people also do daft things when joining multiple cables! - The big blue (IEC) plugs and sockets are NOT water proof, only splash resistant WHEN orientated in the correct fashion and off the ground. Laying any kind of joint on the ground compromises their safety, and sadly people do 'split' the cable near their unit rather than at the bollard!

Thanks for the messages..... Better just stick to the one so and use a normal extension lead... Thanks to all
Normal extension lead for INSIDE the tent or van only, right?
I did that when I was a tenter, attaching the normal extension lead to the EHU kit via one of its 3-pin sockets, making sure it was protected from water sources such as drips, leaks and pools etc...
I found this document from C&CC very helpful when I started as a tenter.
I have seen normal extension leads dangling out of a van window without protection from the elements, used for hooking up to electrical cooking appliances such as George Foreman/Ninja grills, teppanyaki grills/hotplate, air fryers etc... Fine if the weather is dry, not recommended if it is raining for obvious reason!
