they are also doing the caravan cleaner and black streak remover which is very good.

Saw the power supply.

No mention of an RCD. I expect it has one but it would important to check before purchase

It looks just like the Go-Outdoors one I use and that has a trip which I assume is an RCD.

I can attest to the caravan cleaner and black streak remover as being excellent. I used both to clean the hull and remove marks from the hull and exhaust smoke residue.

Also good at home for cleaning the uPVC windows surrounds.

if you look at the unit the RCD/Trip/CB is above the 3 sockets

Yes but you cannot see what is under the cover. At least I can't.

The description only mentions a 10amp circuit breaker ..... There is no mention of an RCD

Id be surprised if there is not an RCD but my point was that one should check before buying

Other makes eg this Kampa one

have a an RCD and a circuit breaker​

Total protection with built – in RCD (residual current device)
Extra protection with built in circuit breaker
IP44 dust & splash proof
Three UK 3 pin sockets
20 metre connection lead included – extra-long reach
Mains plug for plugging into site post
Clips to tent pole or can hang
Complete with handy storage bag
Correct polarity warning light
Can also be used as a RCD protected extension lead at home

If you are buying one from Aldi make sure it does have an RCD as well as the circuit breaker. I am not saying it does not have an RCD only suggesting that because it is not mentioned in the description one should check.

The Aldi caravan cleaner leaves a terrible scum in the marina. I have two bottles left and won't be buying any more as the Starbrite stuff is much better, albeit more expensive.

The Aldi one has an RCD, the photo shows one clearly with the test and reset switches next to the MCB. You just have to zoom in to the website picture

I will mention that I have had to turn one of the sockets through 90° on my Tent one.

Modern moulded on plugs and some charger transformers are too big and limit use of the other sockets.

If you say so. I dont seem to have any zoom option on the Aldi website and nothing clear by just zooming the display.

OK, I'm using a Mac so it was easy to zoom in.

SWMBO has just returned from Aldi with the cleaner and the cable. I can confirm that it has an RCD.
