Calling all sparkies. I plan on fitting an outside socket. I am going to run it as an extension of the upstairs ringmain as I plan to plug in our caravan so the heating, fridge etc can be switched on before we go away etc. (Caravan would be drawing less than 5 amps) I plan to run some trunking down the wall and connect up to a double outside weatherproof socket like this one. By tapping into the upstairs ring it has the least power load, and having a double socket means I could plug in a hoover at the same time if needed. Can you see any potential problems? Or should I run it as a 13 amp fused spur and knock off the heating if other appliances were required?
