Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a licensed electrician for caravan electrical work?

    Yes. Any 240V electrical work in a caravan must be completed by a licensed electrician. This includes installing or modifying power points, circuit breakers and switchboards. Using an unlicensed person for electrical work can result in unsafe wiring, fire risks or non-compliance with insurance requirements.

  • Can I use solar power to run everything in my caravan?

    Solar can power many caravan essentials, especially lighting, refrigeration and device charging. However, larger appliances like air conditioners or microwaves may require more power than a standard solar setup can provide. A licensed electrician can help design a system that meets your power needs without overloading your battery or inverter.

  • What’s involved in a caravan electrical safety check?

    A safety check involves testing power points, wiring, appliances, the switchboard, and any RCDs or circuit protection. An electrician will also check for corrosion, loose connections or overheating that could lead to electrical faults while travelling.
