Surely you did the research before agreeing the price!!

Caravan fixtures and fittings are not cheap, a single socket is around a fiver and three times if not more the price of a ordinary single socket, it is just the way it is, sounds like someone has dropped a clanger :77:

I did a couple of months in a caravan factory a while ago, wiring up static caravans.
Their 'caravan fittings' look like ordinary ones but are a lot cheaper - they buy a light or whatever from B&Q and send it to China for copying...

Probably made by the same factory in China as B&Q stuff then.
"They want same as big olange shed but cheaper"
"Cheaper than that crap we send B&Q ? Rearry ?"

 

[Adam W]

It could be, although I suspect there might be more than one factory in China.

 

[Andy78]

Nah it's just one big one

 

[Adam W]

I wonder what would happen if they all started copying each other.

I've ripped all the beige socket fronts and light switches out of my caravan and changed them for white. They look better and are way cheaper.
