EHU into EHU? Seems to work

[poo at Paul's]

Pitched up late tonight on a busy site with the EHU points a heck of a long way away.
Dug the ‘long cable’ out, its rarely used, but is a big thick one (ooerr) I think about 30m. It reached but only if I went direct though two other pitches!
Bugger.
After a bit of thought, I suddenly wondered if it could plugs the long one, into the shorter 15 m one, as an extension. And by Jove, it works.
Don’t know why I should be surprised, but I’ve never thought about it before, but it does work. Even found a traffic cone to hud the ‘join’ under and wrapped it up in a bag too.

Worth remembering if anyone else falls foul of a pitch in the middle of flipping nowhere!

You can also get something like this to protect it.

How does the price compare to a traffic cone, though!

I just met another chap with the same dilemma and he never knew you could plug one into another either. It’s so obvious, but I can remember ever seeing it!

Are you stting me!, wonders will never cease eh

Really?
Never knew people didn't know lol we have 4 into each other to reach our forecourt from the nearest plug

I carry a 25m one and a 15m one just in case. I've only had to se the 2 together twice, from memory

Can't believe this is a eureka moment for you.
Have 2 leads for the caravan as recommended by many using French sites where there can apparently be some distance between pitch and ehu. Never had to use the second one

I’ve never had to use the 25m one, in fact I had to pull the garage apart to find it! I suppose in that respect, I’d never had to think about putting the 15m and 25m one together, as I’d always been within 15 m of a point!
Actually have a 5m one on board too that lives in same bag as the 15m.
