240V Mains Cable

For most camper van installations, 2.5mm² Arctic-grade cable is commonly used for hook up connections due to its durability and flexibility in cold conditions. Arctic cable is designed to remain flexible in low temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor use and campsite environments where standard cable may become stiff or brittle.

Heavier gauge cables such as 4.0mm² and 6.0mm² are typically used for higher load applications or longer cable runs, helping to reduce voltage drop and improve overall system efficiency. Meanwhile, lighter options like 1.5mm² are suitable for internal wiring between consumer units and sockets where lower current is required.

These mains cables are designed with 3-core construction (live, neutral and earth) to meet safety standards for 230V systems, ensuring proper grounding and protection when used alongside RCDs and circuit breakers. When installed correctly as part of a full mains system, they help deliver safe and compliant power throughout your camper van.

Available in multiple lengths such as 3m, 5m and 10m, these cables offer flexibility for different installations, whether you’re wiring a compact setup or a larger, more complex electrical system. Their robust outer insulation provides protection against wear, vibration and movement—essential in a mobile environment like a camper van.
