Is this the worst electric hook up

[Off da Grid]

Think I’d take my rubber door mat to plug into that one as well.

There is only one splitter, all the rest are in dedicated sockets, can't see much difference to having the sockets on seperate posts.

Exactly. Two boxes with four sockets, one box with two sockets. The problem is that the wires aren't long enough to reach the pitches, so they are not laid on the ground all the way up to the post. But that's why the boxes are normally distributed around the site, not clustered together on one post

That’s awful. Some of those cables are a different shade of orange and don”t match at all.

Now you have pointed that out, it must be in the UK most other countries use black cables.

A couple of years ago we were on a Camper stop in the Pico Mountains in Spain for a couple of days. Each time the whole sites electrics tripped out including street lights & the sports centre next door you could guarantee a Brit van had arrived.
Why are they so ignorant and think they can run everything off of low current supplies.

I find it difficult to understand how one van tripping an overcurrent protective device would trip street lights and a sports centre.

Maybe a very faint change of an earth leakage fault doing that if the earth leakage trips have not been sized correctly, but that's very remote.

Two separate Brit vans came in and managed it. The main feed was from the sports centre probably a 50 amp MCB feeding all 10 pitches (just the lights in the loos that went out in the centre). It was October and I expect the Brits were running their heating on Electric plus their fridge & kettle, add that to all the other users and the MCB trips. Just selfish I'm sure the outlets stated max 5 amps.

We stayed on a site in france with hook up like that including repairs made using sellotape .

Sellotape? That really is asking for trouble. I always use duct tape.

Try this for Fun...from a travellers site

Wouldn't fit

Cant see anything wrong there's only 1 triple extension. I have seen triple to triple to triple before now.
More to the point why go to findhorn at the prices they charge? Lovely area but!

Look up travellers electrocuted. Lots of stories.
Op hasn't been to morocco then

Arrived at one well known campsite in Morocco, guy asked if we wanted hookup even though we were actually parked outside his walls (regulars will now probably recognise it). Just chuck your cable over the wall, then we went inside to find they'd just "installed" some new sockets - 12 on a piece of hardwood nailed to the wall. But the best bit it was fed by a plug from the other board! No breakers, no fuses, nothing, yet it worked fine!

That’s normal for a lot of French Aires like Honfleur!
