Sockets

[PeteT1201]

So my hymer MH has the normal sockets and the cig type sockets which I assume all are 12v, then I have a double, what I would call household socket I take it this will only work on hook up? I also have an extension lead with 4 x 3 pin sockets plugged in with a travel adapter into the 12v system will this be powered by the 12v?

Three pin 'household' sockets will be 240v and will run off the EHU (plugged in to mains)

I can't see what you mean by 3 pin sockets plugged into the 12v. Photo would help.

To be fair, if you are so unaware do not switch anything on or plug something in until you are.

Yes to Q.1.
Can't quite follow the 2nd part. The 12 v socket can't power a normal 3 pin (domestic type) socket. Do you mean you have an extension lead that also has a 12 v outlet? If so that will only work on EHU too.
If you have an inverter that will enable you to run 220v appliances (assuming you have enough battery).

Depends what you mean by 'normal' sockets..... A standard house type 3 pin, albeit with a fancy surround, or two thin slots, possible one slightly longer than the other.
If the latter type then yes, 12v
If the first type then 230v

Photos of both types of socket and the 2 gang would really help.

This what I was badly trying to describe

1 and 3 look like continental 230v sockets converted to UK sockets with adaptors. 2 looks like a UK socket fitted as an extra. All 230v

The small black socket on the right in 3 looks like a Hella 12v socket

They are all 240v sockets powered by ehu unless you have an inverter.

Looks like Heath Robinson has been at work.
Looks like just a standard 4 way mains extension lead so the sockets will only work on EHU.
That CO alarm is as good as useless at floor level it needs mounting in a suitable position.

It's not clear from the picture but we can assume the 4-gang sockets are plugged into your 220v circuit somewhere.
You need to be aware of the ampage available when hooked up, if you try running lots of appliances off all those outlets you will likely trip the MCB. To find out look at the little swutches on the EHU post for a number like B6 or B16. The higher the better but even a 16 amp supply might struggle if you are using too many appliances.
