Need to invest in a second cable as we gave our spare away with last van, I was thinking of just buying the plug and socket and making one myself. What cable do you recommend and where is best place to buy it.

Do you have a waterproof cover for the join?When needed to go the full 25m joining both together gets you there.

They've both got IP44 rating. And it was a ball park figure.your link is for non waterproof connectors, I prefer the ones with glanded cable entries, virtually submersible
Can only save a few pennies, but standard issue shop leads have the sleeved cable entries with virtually no seal
Did the same when in Estartit a few years back,bought 20 metres of cable + connectors,( might seem a lot of cable but not when on some continental campsites )easy to do.If you are going down the DIY route, may I suggest you make two sets up one around 10m and the other 15m. As we know the standard bought cable is 25m in length. I don't know about you but I have on very few occasions needed a full 25m So you spend time unrolling and laying out a great length than you need. By having the two lengths I pick and choose which would be ideal, When needed to go the full 25m joining both together gets you there.
This method saves having loads of cable running around.

I had this great idea to use waterproof (IP67) plugs and sockets (the ones with the screw fixing with waterproof gasket), so I bought one of each, and fitted them onto the cable. Then discovered the waterproof plug won't fit in the MH inletThey've both got IP44 rating. And it was a ball park figure.
IP67 rating is about twice the price.

As long as the joint isn't IN standing water you don't need it. The plug and socket design is water resistant enough for rain.Do you have a waterproof cover for the join?
