230V Power Leads & Fittings

230V Power Leads & Fittings for Safe RV Connection.

Connecting your caravan or motorhome to 230V mains power requires specialised equipment designed to handle high current and the unpredictable New Zealand weather. At RV World, we provide a complete range of heavy-duty power leads, weatherproof inlets, and RCD-protected adapters to ensure your vehicle is powered safely and legally—whether you are parked at a caravan park, camp ground or charging up in your driveway at home.

Heavy-Duty Caravan & Motorhome Power Leads

Our 15m power leads are the standard for NZ campgrounds. These feature the 16-amp (IP44 rated) industrial plugs and sockets required by New Zealand electrical standards for RV connection. Built with high-visibility, heavy-duty cable, these leads are designed to withstand being stepped on, driven over, and exposed to UV rays, ensuring a reliable connection for your internal appliances and battery chargers.

Charging at Home: The Importance of RCD Adapters

A common mistake for new RV owners is trying to plug their 16A caravan lead directly into a standard 10A home socket using a "modified" cable. This is not only illegal but dangerous. To safely charge your motorhome from a domestic wall outlet, you must use a specialised adapter such as the Ampfibian Weatherproof Adapter or the Southern Alps Caravan Supply Adapter. Features to consider:

• Built-in RCD (Residual Current Device): Protects you from electrical shocks by cutting power instantly if a fault is detected.
• Circuit Breakers: Prevents your home's wiring from overloading by limiting the current to 10A.
• Weatherproof Housing: Allows you to leave the connection outside safely while your vehicle charges.

Flush and Surface-Mount Power Inlets

If you are building a new campervan or replacing a damaged fitting, we stock a variety of 230V power inlets. Choose from sleek flush-mounted inlet boxes that sit flat against your vehicle's exterior or durable surface-mounted inlets. For added convenience, our lockable power cable doors allow you to pass a lead through the vehicle wall while keeping the connection secure and protected from the elements.
