With the government wanting all cars to be electric in years to come and some MHers have them as runarounds how do you think the club should address the issue, This is NOT a thread against electric cars.

Do you think the club should change the bollard to accommodate the second connection, have a designated charging area and should the charging bollard be metered so you pay as you use, or the cost added to pitch fee, or any other suggestion.

As long as ALL your caravan wiring and sockets are good I would hope that the piece you are plugging into the caravan will be OK. I needing to use an extension I would make my own using cable rated to 16amp.

However as the original cable is used as far as the extension and all caravan wiring is little more than a series of extensions ................
