Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are caravan inlets and outlets used for?

Caravan inlets and outlets provide the essential connection points for supplying mains power to caravans, RVs, and motorhomes. Inlets allow external power to enter the vehicle’s electrical system, while outlets provide safe points to draw power for onboard appliances.

Why is weatherproofing important for caravan power connectors?

Caravans and RVs are exposed to outdoor elements, so weatherproof ratings like IP34 and IP65 ensure connectors resist water ingress and dust. This protects internal wiring and prevents electrical faults, enhancing safety and longevity.

What are the common amperage ratings for caravan power inlets and outlets?

Most Australian caravan power connectors are rated at 10 amps or 15 amps to suit typical caravan electrical loads. Selecting the correct amperage ensures safe operation without overloading circuits.

Are caravan inlets and outlets compliant with Australian electrical standards?

Yes, all quality caravan power connectors stocked by Electrotraders meet relevant Australian standards such as AS/NZS 3112 for plug and socket configurations, ensuring safety and compatibility.

Can I replace just the cover flap on my caravan inlet?

Yes, replacement cover flaps are available for Clipsal and other popular models, allowing easy maintenance without full inlet replacement.

What is a double pole power point in caravan outlets?

Double pole power points disconnect both active and neutral conductors, reducing electrical shock risks. They are recommended for caravan and RV power outlets, especially in wet or outdoor environments.

Do caravan power connectors differ from standard domestic power points?

Yes, caravan connectors are designed with specific pin configurations, weatherproof ratings, and mounting flanges tailored for mobile and outdoor use, unlike fixed domestic power points.

Can I use a caravan power adaptor to connect different amperage devices?

Yes, adaptors like 15A to 10A safety adaptors allow you to connect compatible devices safely while maintaining circuit protection.
