Sorry to disagree Damien. This is a very dangerous practice a day contrary to all advice given by the Clubs.
We all know connect to caravan first, then plug onto EHU.
Disconnect from EHU first then caravan .
A young child playing could easily stick something into the live socket no matter how far in the contacts are.
That apart the entire site could suffer a major failure if a live wire was damaged and the main EHU breaker didn't trip first.
Sorry. But that's my view.
hi all.
couple of things to note here, getting your pitch or EHU connection taken while you are out as a constant problem for motorhomer's even if you leave things out on the pitch, had it done to us dozens of times, left signs, buckets, steps, and yes even EHU's some people have no regard for a pitch that doesn't have a van parked on it, even to the point of moving stuff so they can get on, will any of the neighbours tell them there is a motorhome using it,
NO,
secondly what responsible parent would let any child especially one who is not old enough to know better, play with a bright orange cable on someone else's pitch,
thirdly getting the EHU cut by the gardener doing the grass is no more likely than any other EHU on site used or not, as the person doing the grass would be from the site and know exactly which pitches were in use.many sites have central bollards with multiple sockets cutting cables is not an issue,
and lastly how do you know the cable is
live it may still be connected to the bollard but the MCB could have been switched off, prior to disconnecting the from the van.
also just my view, from a different perspective, :blink:
