Default euro electrics

Hi you need to purchase or DIY a continental socket lead,i,ts a 2 pin plug with a short piece of wirewith a blue caravan mains plug attached to the other end.they retail about £4.50 so not too bad,watch out on French sites for reverse polarity as this could cause problems.you can buy a special plug which plugs into the caravan sockets and tells you if incoming lead is reversed.you would pay approx £8 for this,but it,s worth it,also if you find you have reversed polarity,you will need a short lead with the a blue mains plug and a blue mains socket,approx £2.50 each but one has to be wired the wrong way round ,i.e.live to neutral and neutral to live.if you dont feel confident enough to do this,ask an electrician as its only a 5 min. job.
