Electrics and Touring Caravan

[Pete E]

We bought a decent condition touring caravan last year that had been recently serviced by a dealer and with a report basically saying among other things the electric were testing ok and safe.

We used the caravan quite a bit last year and the quality of the various pitches would best be described as "variable" to say the least and if you pull up in a shoddy looking park, it doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence the site electrics are going to be up to scratch...

So just wondering if there is anything I should be aware of, or anything I should check or perhaps even test, when using the electrics provided on a touring pitch?

There's a lot of people on this forum, who know far too much about caravans for my liking. I'm gonna give that idiot Clarkson a tip off.

Probably would not bother myself other than my OH likes it so much...

For me the main benefit is that we can pick coastal sites which means I can fit in quite a bit of sea fishing over a weekend while OH just chills out..

I have to confess, I used one of those motorhomes things last year; went to see the British GP. Fell out of the overhead cabin, first night going for a pee. Bruised me ribs big style, hurt when I smiled.

Won't be using one of them again for a while

Needed a pee and fell out of bed - too much ale methinks...

I blamed the ladder, and lack of lighting. I should of conducted a risk assessment before retiring.
