ADAPT. DON’T IMPROVISE
Using a modified ‘death lead’ to connect
your 15A van to a standard 10A power
supply risks overloading the circuit, which
can spark an electrical fire.
The 15A to 10A Ampfibian power adaptor
lets you safely and legally connect your
caravan to any 10A powerpoint. The
adaptor limits the amount of
current that can be drawn,
keeping the supply circuit
safe from overloading.
Ampfibian has a range
of adaptors, with the
MAX and RV-Plus
being ideal for
caravanners.
These models
also incorporate
a residual current device, which provides
protection from electrocution due to faulty
wiring.
They don’t, however, provide surge protection.
Power surges can happen in an instant,
impacting the electronics built into your van and
the devices and appliances connected to it, too.
They are also specifically excluded in most
insurance policies, van park policies and
product warranties, according to Ampfibian.
Ampfibian's Caravan Surge Protector is
Australia’s only portable weatherproof 15A
caravan surge protector. It plugs into a site’s
power supply or generator before you connect
your van to the power supply.
