Not gas related this time although we did remove and replace a 3 year old LPG tank from the same vehicle that was mounted so low it scraped the ground on speed bumps etc emitting sparks that worried the owner.
But here’s the electric hook up point EHU
Look hard and you will spot the problem

You most likely won't but what on earth has this set up got to do with a Morelo Palace?

Probably just a chap taking the opportunity to help out on his nagging MIL's motorhome.

I think the main problem is that after you plug it into your hook up lead the plug has live pins showing, OK if you read the little label you plug it into the van first.

absolutely nothing, it was meant to be a joke, comparing the timeless class of a Morelo against the extremely poor quality of the motorhome electrics on the example

i could have said Hymer, Catahargo etc but went for the best out of them all, and youre right, i could never afford one but i can dream ......

A good few years ago I sponsored a Superbike rider and was helping hin pack up at Knockhil so I would take in all the 240v leads, they were fed from a locked room BUT just to cover all eventualities his dad had wired him a 3 pin plug into the Schuko plug so he could choose which one to use as dictated by the socket I pointed out the error and he said he would get it sorted "too late I said I have removed all the 3 pin plugs and will make you some adapter leads"

Name and shame the manufacturer that's attached the female plug to the wall
