Hi all, been reading about reverse polarity hook up not sure if we will need this in France.If we do can any one tell us how to go about this. Have read that it is simple to make an adaptor yourself. Many thanks, Sandra&Eugene.

Hi
Just been reading through these notes,and have bought the warning adaptor,but could not buy a unit at brownhills that would deal with the situation if the warning adaptor came up red. Can anyone advise where to buy the bit of kit that deals with the situation when the warning kit goes red?
Thanks in anticipation

Try this http://www.johnscross.co.uk/products/Caravan-Motorhome-Polarity-Change-over-Switch-.html
I purchased one of these from Brownhills NE 2 years ago, gives audible signal of reversed polarity and flicking the switch corrects the problem. Came up against reversed polarity on 2 occasions on a recent trip to France.

You cannot buy a rp connection lead already made up you have to make one or get one made. To make a rp connection unit , you need a short length of ehu (about 12" to 24") and a male and female blue plugs, one end you wire up as normal and the other end the wires are crossed over (live to neutral and netral to live) if you are not sure of your wiring ask as stated someone that is capable of doing it correctly, a friendly caravan service guy or an electrician. With using a short length of cable it will be easy for you to identify and use if needed.Then if the unit to tell you your electric is in rp doesn't give you all three lights you just add the short cable to the end at ehu the bollard. Also its a good idea to have the 2 pin plug convertor as some sites are not 3 pin hookup.

I have just returned from France and took with me the set from Ebay which Callumwa lists on the second Ebay link, I used both of the items in the set and I don't think you can go wrong at £14 including delivery!!!
You couldn't make them for that

you are lucky to have a reversible plug and yes it is the easiest solution.When I have had reverse polarity in France I have always just turned the 2 pin plug upside down and put it in again which then shows up as normal on my motorhome. Is this wrong?
