try your local Electrical Wholesaler that would be your cheapest option or try a caravan dealer which would be a bit dearer in my opinion.Remember it MUST have 15amp plug & socket.

Don't be bloody silly. ....lol ..that's not how it's done , at the time I used an angle grinder side on because I couldn't find the file, just have to be careful you don't rip the finger nails off.

Use to cut and polish stones in the 60s , the diamond tip saw blade won't cut soft items like fingers, you can push the finger onto the circular blade but hell it can grind into the finger nail real fast ,

Yep!.
Bunnings will be cheaper than a whoesaler unless he gives you trade price.
Have a look in the electrical section, you will find HPM leads specifically labelled for caravan usuage.

I paid nearly $50 at an electrical wholesaler. Only problem is, they don't sell wholesale to blokes who are not trade and they know who is and who isn't. Couple of days later happened to be in Bunnings and saw em for $20. Not the heavy duty one that I had already bought but it would've done me fine.

I've got 2 power leads set up for my caravan, one short and one long one as you never know where the power point is going to be located when you get there. I prefer to use the shortest lead possible and if needed just join two together.
I've done the same with both the
water hose and sullage hose as
well.
Regards Andrew.
