Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What type of power inlet do I need for my caravan in Australia?
Most caravans and RVs in Australia require a 15A power inlet with a flat three-pin configuration that complies with AS/NZS 3112. These inlets are designed to connect safely to powered sites and are identifiable by their larger earth pin.
What’s the difference between 10A and 15A plugs and sockets?
A 10A plug is standard for most household appliances, while a 15A plug has a larger earth pin and is designed to handle higher current loads, typically found in caravans, food vans, and mobile setups. It’s important to match your plug to the correct socket for safety and compliance.
Are your caravan power products weatherproof?
Yes, many of our inlets, outlets, and GPOs come with weatherproof ratings such as IP34 or IP65, offering protection against rain and dust. This makes them suitable for outdoor installation on caravans and mobile units.
Can I connect a 15A caravan to a standard 10A household outlet?
Only with a compliant safety adaptor that includes overload protection and an integrated RCD. These adaptors reduce current draw to suit domestic outlets while maintaining electrical safety. Always check for approval markings when using one.
What is an RCBO and why is it used in caravan setups?
An RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent) combines the functions of an RCD and MCB. It protects against both earth leakage and overload. In caravans, double pole RCBOs are preferred as they isolate both active and neutral lines, ensuring safety even in floating neutral scenarios.
Are mounting flanges necessary for caravan inlets and outlets?
Mounting flanges improve installation stability and weatherproofing. They help create a flush and secure fit, particularly in metal or fibreglass walls of caravans and RVs. We offer both standard and black finishes to match your build.
What safety standards apply to caravan electrical components in Australia?
While individual products vary, many must comply with AS/NZS 3001 (Electrical installations—Transportable structures and vehicles including their site supplies) and AS/NZS 3112 for plugs and sockets. Always check markings and consult a licensed electrician if unsure.
