Whereabouts of third 240v socket

[Oldgustaf]

The technical sheet for our T6501B (attached) states it has three 240v sockets. I have found two. One is on the left side of the kitchen work top (next to the sink!) - the other is on the upstand that supports the corner bed (not a great place for socket either).

Anyone know the whereabouts of socket number three?

In the garage or in the tv cupboard?

 

[Langtoftlad]

My fridge has a 240v socket

 

[kevenh]

In a shelf cupboard? (if like ours )

 

[HandyAndy]

My fridge has a 240v socket

I would have expected that to be hard wired and not count towards advertised sockets available for use.

Inside cupboard in washroom is a common place.

You'd think the manual (all 270 pages of it) would say where the sockets are - but it doesn't.

in my Rapido, there is one covered by a flap beside the bathroom basin, low down. you only see it from the loo or if you bend down looking for it

Haven't looked in there - thinking nobody would put 240v socket in a shower room...

Will look tomorrow. No, I'm curious - will go and look now.

What about an external socket outside, it will be under a flap ?

Motorhomes appear exempt from normal logic and H&S guidelines.
You can put a normal 3 pin socket in a house bathroom....... If you take all the bathroom appliances out.

Just checked and yes it states an external 240v socket (if the right van)

Every Motorhome we had had has had one there, its only the Brits that don't.

Our ( French) house has a normal light switch and a mains socket in the bathroom, same as our van.

Safer electrical wiring regimes in France

Have they been sneaky - making one of the two you've found into a double?
I think I have three sockets but 'technically' four as the kitchen one is a double

I don't think they advertised a specific number in my PVC, and as per another thread on the subject of fridge connections plug/socket seemed to be as prevalent as hard wired ones.

In my Rapido they lke hiding them in cupboards.
One in tv cupboard
One in cupboard above fridge freezer which I use for microwave
One at back of top shelf in wardrobe.

I too would look in the toilet/washroom area. Out Hymer has one in the cupboard above the basin. It is there for the hairdryer to plug into. Not that I have ever used it!

I'd missed that - but isn't this referring to the electrical hook up socket?

Went out last night and had another good look around for the elusive third socket - and it does not exist.

Noop, they haven't been sneaky.

Phone the dealer?

 

[Oldgustaf]

Do you think Pullingers, who supplied int originally, will hold that info on an eight year old van?
