Why Double Pole Matters in a Caravan

In a fixed home, the active is switched at the outlet and the neutral stays connected. Mobile installations are different: a caravan or RV can be plugged in via a lead that may not guarantee active/neutral polarity, so a double-pole GPO isolates both conductors when switched off. That removes the risk of a socket sitting live through the neutral, which is why double-pole outlets are mandated for recreational vehicles under the Australian wiring rules.

Built to Last on the Road

Vibration, humidity and constant plugging-in are hard on outlets. The GEN3PP2HDP uses a virgin-grade PCA18 plastic body with 316 stainless steel springs and screws for corrosion resistance, and brass current-carrying parts of greater than 85% copper. It carries full Australian/New Zealand approval, so it satisfies certification requirements for compliant caravan and RV fit-outs.

Fits Standard Plates and Covers

With a 117mm x 72mm plate, the GEN3PP2HDP is interchangeable with other major-brand double power points, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement. A metal cover version is also available if you need a more robust or different finish.

Q: Why do caravans need a double pole power point?
A: Australian wiring rules require double-pole outlets in caravans, RVs and trailers because they isolate both the active and neutral conductors when switched off, which protects against reverse-polarity supply common in mobile setups.

Q: Is the GEN3 GEN3PP2HDP Australian approved?
A: Yes. It holds full Australian approval under certificate SAA-170559-EA and uses Australian/New Zealand approved construction.

Q: What size plate does it have and will it fit my existing opening?
A: The plate measures 117mm x 72mm and is interchangeable with other major-brand double power points, so it suits standard horizontal mounting positions.
