I am venturing abroad for the first time (in fact it is my first serious camping trip off the Island)
I have a couple of questions that I have tried to google the answers to and have got confused.
EHU on the Continent;
Is there more than one type of adapter for the continent, I have seen references to the Schuku but am not sure where in Europe these are being used ?
Assuming I get a polarity tester how do use it, do I plug the Schuku adapter into the socket at the campsite then use a uk ehu to 13 amp socket convertor then plug my tester into that, if it is ok I replace the UK EHU to 13 amp socket adaptor with my cable that feeds the motorhome ?
if it fails can the Schuku be inserted upside down to reverse the polarity? google images of the Schuku do not appear to showed it keyed in any way ?
if not that is not the case then I assume I will need a small crossover cable to reverse the polarity ?
Question No 2
Is there a checklist for camping abroad, I guess I am looking for a list containing foregn stuff and items that I may not usually have for my normal weekend camping, eg international driving permit, green card, log book, insurance, EHU adaptor etc rather than stuff like corkscrew,( this should already be in the can as its not UK specific !)
Hope you can help and thanks in advance
