Camping - electric hookup cable

[Deleted User]

Any idea where I can get one from? Preferably a shop rather than online because I need by the weekend.

Also, do I need an RCD one? I've heard the camp sites feed usually has an RCD built in anyway?

Do you have a Towsure near by?

£39 for one.

Go Outdoors have similar at £60 at the moment but I'm sure I paid less.

Yes, you need one with RCD. A site could stop you from using the EHU as it would be unsafe.

Stay away from home built ones, get the proper stuff.

Any camping store should sell similar items though for around the £50/60 mark and they should last a good few years.

Go Outdoors have this one (same as one posted above) for £39.99 instore and online (OOS online).

I bought this, but haven't used it yet (couldn't get an electric pitch booked) but this is the cheapest I've seen them.

To get them at this price, you need a Go Outdoors discount card, which is well worth the £4/year.

We collected one today from Oxford. They had plenty but were selling really well over the past few days - can't imagine why
Excellent piece of kit, OH had been looking for one and hadn't found one cheaper.

Got one for £30 Go Outdoors in Cardiff - think its a national offer though.

Has anyone seen any offers recently?

Thanks!
