Camper trailer accessory plugs

Merit work best but you may need an adaptor for cig as many accessories come plugged that way.

The Engel will draw a fair current so wire for what, about 15 amp?

A bank of sockets would be handy, mounted closest to where your power take-offs will be to avoid extension leads. Note that if you buy a bank you should check what capacity it has. Many (perhaps all) won't have the capacity to fuel a fridge so you'll need a separate circuit for that.

Hi Adam,

So much stuff (chargers for cameras, torches, phones, ipads, computers, etc etc....) comes standard with cigarette lighter plugs that we've adopted them as our standard. We have three outlets at the back of the Troopy, three more behind the navigator's seat, and more in the trailer. The fridge outlet uses a latching 4 pin ''cannon" style connector - easy to use, won't shake loose, and by paralleling pins will handle 12 amps, far more than the fridge uses. This has worked well for the last 20 years, and I wouldn't change anything - certainly not go chopping cig lighter plugs off, just to fit some alternative to do the same job. The only appliance that does need a decent reliable connection is the fridge.

Cheers

John

Thanks everyone. Do Hella or Narva do a bank of female plugs. I can't seem to find any in their range.

generaly fridge on one line

lights on another depending on halogen.. sucks the juice..
and led's on another.. as you can leave these on all night, and use stuff all juice.

that way one stuffs up, you dont loose all your power..
and your fridge stays running..if the other two are faulty..

mostly blown fuses, or rusty connections going from one environment to another.
inland to the coast..
