Mains Electrics

Most motorhomes will use a garage type combined MCB RCB unit, which is rather bulky.
I decided that a fused RCB spur, Timeguard RCD Spurt TFP10WL would do exactly the same job.
They are rate at a maximum of 13A - which is lower than the usual 16A, however the likelyhood of ever being able to use 16A is remote. The trip current is 30mA.
In addition I bought a plugin mains tester from Aldi, and wired it permanently sio that I can see if the incoming supply is live, and if there is something wrong with the wiring.



Electric connector fitted


Plastic conduit to carry the 2.5mm heat resistant cable


Cable entry into main units

Personally I'm not entirely happy with connecting the body of van to someone else's installation.  There are pros and cons, but that's what I've done.
