    Electrical setup for catering trailer

    I appreciate the advice from both of you. I've contacted a handful of electricians this afternoon but none of them are able to carry out work on a mobile unit to be used for commercial purposes. I've been advised that this type of work requires a specific certification which not many...

    Electrical setup for catering trailer

    Thanks for your reply & you're absolutely correct, I have no experience of this kind of thing, hence the original query. I'm trying to fully cost the installation with a view to purchasing all of the equipment & then hiring an electrician to install everything. I'm trying to do as much...

    Electrical setup for catering trailer

    Hi all. I'm converting an old horsebox into a catering trailer & have got to the stage where I need to add plug sockets & switches. The most power hungry item of kit I have is a 900W water heater which forms part of my handwash water system & which, I think, requires a 13amp fuse. I also have 3...

    Thanks Bernard, this looks great however it seems it needs to be connected to a vehicle alternator, & so i think it'd be ideal for a catering van. My unit however is a trailer, & may often be parked up for some time with just a generator or a mains supply for power. If I only ever connect to a...
