I've got a hook up for campsites that only 10 metres long. Can I use the cable I use for my 110v extension at work and just change the plugs over.

the cable will almost certainly be rated at well over 110V, so technically, should be ok

Bit gash this, but if you grind off the locating tab on the 110v plug, and off the blue socket on the caravan, the yellow plugs will mate with the blue ones. It will still only fit in one way because the earth pin is bigger. Will save you having to change plugs. They are no different apart from colour.
