I currently use one if the Towsure type -3 outlet 10A twin pole RCD mains power supplies to bring power on-board. Is there any problem in using this as the backbone of on onboard mains ring system? Basically take off the shore power plug & 20 of the 25m of lead, install a Hubbel female 16A mains plug socket which I already have & run the shortened cable & the unit from this, sited somewhere suitable on board then run two mains cables possibly with outdoor rated plugs, from the immersion in the calorifier & the battery charger, leaving one socket to run a plug in mains spur from, with say 3 13A sockets sited through the boat, using the remnant of the original cable for this wiring. Is this a safe & workable solution? (I have a separate 20 m shore power lead and a Hubbel male 16A plug which I can add in place of the existing end plug).
The unit is similar, if not identical, to this:

I had considered possibilty of a garage unit based set up, but as I already have the constituent items above, thought this may be an easy and low cost solution. If a bad idea, happy to consider other cost effective & safe suggestions.
PS if workable, would appreciate any recommendations for suitable onboard 13A plugs and sockets to source.
