Shed / caravan

[growler]

I need to supply a shed 30m from the house at the bottom of garden that will then supply 2 x caravan hook ups and potentially other sheds in the future. Do you think a 6mm swa would be appropriate ? Dint want to over do it but I want it to be adequate for future loads.

You're kidding, right?

before we can even guess, you need to come up with an estimated load. you should be able to do your own calculations from that.

You would have 32A capacity with 6mm. After the caravans it does not leave much at all left over.

Maybe I should of just asked about caravans as I don't have a scooby about them. The vans will be used for camping out so I guess they will be charging a mobile phone with the light on ? Not really pulling massive loads hey ?

32a supply for a light and socket in shed and to charge a caravan from time to time.

In your other post you said 2x caravans, a shed and possibly more sheds in the future.

charged caravans ? do they have batteries lol

haha, joking aside they do, basically when you plug your caravan into a socket it charges the leisure battery mate which powers the 12 volt sockets.

You are extracting the urine aren't you.

 

[Leesparkykent]

Some caravans have 2/3KW instantaneous water heaters.

Can I plug a swimming pool into the shed ? No rcd present

Plug what ever you want into it and while your at it why don't you plug yourself in at the same time

Of course I know that Mike, I am ashamed to admit I once owned a shhh,a caravan (he said in a whisper)

That should just about cope with the added shower & extractor fan.

If you had a caravan, I reckon it would have a giant bag of gas on the roof (like what they tried in the War), to power your Combi fed shower.

Blimey! I've just joined this site, out of interest and thought I would have to be careful not to ask any daft questions, but........!
