Key features
- Built-in RCD switch gives residual-current protection at the power inlet
- IP44-rated housing suits constant outdoor exposure
- 15A rating matches standard Australian caravan park power posts
- Combines the inlet and safety switch in one fitting, simplifying installation
Overview
An external 15A power inlet with a built-in RCD safety switch, giving your whole caravan circuit residual-current protection right at the point where mains power comes in. IP44-rated for genuine outdoor weather resistance.
Common questions
Do I need this if the van already has an RCD inside?
Probably not both. This puts residual current protection right at the inlet, covering everything from the plug inwards. If your switchboard already has one, adding a second means chasing which device tripped every time something faults. Pick where the protection lives and keep it simple.
Can I fit it myself?
No. This is the mains side of the van, and in Australia that wiring is licensed electrician work. You can cut the hole, mount it and seal it if you like, but the connection and the sign-off belong to someone with a licence. Do not improvise on that.
What does IP44 mean on the outside of a van?
It is rated against splashing water and small solid objects, so rain, road spray and a hose at the wash bay are all fine. It is not a submersion rating. Do not aim a pressure washer at it, and mount it where it is not sitting in a run-off path.
