I haven't managed to push a peg through my caravan cable but after careful measuring I did manage to bash a floor board nail through an 8mm central heating pipe at home once. (Couldn't have managed it again even if I tried). But the biggest mistake was to pull it out again. Black water sprayed over everything!

Goodness Tim, Gareth is about to explode, get back on topic before we enter yet another diversion, with perhaps another heading "house hold disasters"

How did it go off topic?

If you have a neat and tidy routine when setting up or breaking down you set-up you're less likely to have mishaps or lose bits and bobs than if you have you gear streen about or thrown under the van willy nilly.

What does happen with any couiled up cable where a current is apssing through is that a electro magnetci field is created and if strong enouh will affect certain components within a specified rradius, i.e. a CRT TV.

I went on a caravan rally once where a marquee was put up. some hours later it was full of water eventhough it was a dry day. Seemed some joker had driven a steak through the site water pipe.

Maybe the joker should choose his meat supplier with more care.

If a steak is that tough,perhaps the best use of it would be a ground peg!

one of my friends actually designs and builds induction coils. Has done for many years . he has Dr in front of his name.

Just got off the phone to him.

he should be called Sir Laugh a Lot.

At a max of 16 amps you would need one very tight coil and be at about 600v . He suggested a coil bore of about 6" and aprox 450 winds.
