Like what Roger said, no need for a special one, and shout if you need a shore power cable. I seem to have a length of 2.5mm flex left over /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I was thinking of one of these. Anyone used one?

Cheaper ones at Towsure

I am thinking of using one of these (but am no expert) so would also be keen to see if others thought suitable.

The price also seems good.

I was hoping to keep out of this from now on but please, please don't use them for this sort of thing. From the point of view of a former trading self employed electrician, please don't use that unit. That company does sell some good stuff and the prices are good, but only use that sort of kit if you're willing to replace it over and over again
Avoiding mention of manufacturer or supplier for obvious reasons
I'll go back to sleep now

Flipper's electric hook up was a camping lead with 3 sockets. Worked fine for the odd time I needed to charge the battery or run the electric fire.
