16A Hook Ups & Mains Accessories

At the core of any mains setup is the 16A hook up system, which allows you to connect your camper van to external power sources on campsites. Products such as flush-mounted hook up points with magnetic flaps provide a clean, weather-resistant installation on the side of your van, ensuring safe and convenient access to shore power wherever you park.

The collection includes a wide variety of practical accessories such as 16A male and female plugs, surface mount hook up points, extension leads and site lead splitters, allowing you to build a flexible and reliable connection system. These components are designed to work together to deliver consistent 230V power to your camper van’s internal sockets and appliances.

High-quality hook up leads—available in multiple lengths such as 10m, 20m and 25m—make it easy to connect to campsite power even when the hook up point is further away. These leads are built for durability and typically come with weather-resistant connectors and flexible cabling, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor conditions.

Adapters and connectors are also available to increase compatibility and convenience. For example, 16A to 13A adapters allow you to connect your camper van to standard UK household sockets, making them ideal for charging your system at home or during maintenance.

For more advanced setups, accessories such as automatic mains transfer switches (e.g. Victron Energy Filax 2) allow seamless switching between different power sources, such as shore power and inverter supply. This helps protect your system and ensures uninterrupted power when transitioning between sources.
