Have a customer with a caravan, its basically a glorified shed on wheels with a towbar (think gypsy caravan and you wont be far off) bought it off a previous owner who had solar pv. its currently wired in twin and earth which is i believe non compliant. to use it she currently has each circuit on a plug via extension lead as previous owner ripped out the solar pv leaving cut off cables.
She now wants it brought upto standard so it can be used by family and rented out on air bnb.
whats the key points beyond those below?
30ma RCD at caravan hook up and all circuits have individual 30mA RCD protection aswell. - Does the hook up have to be time delayed or is it okay to have both at normal 30mA?
Caravan to be a TT system and not export PME
cables to be 1.5mm or greater and be flex or stranded. which means the twin and earth has to go.

Any advice welcome.
