outside caravan boxes

[Sparky7573]

ok can someone please tell me if im right !
cant remember the reg number (i wrote it on paper work i received at work but im at home now)

im led to believe the reg for an outside static caravan box is between 0.5m and 1.5m high (0.5 being min and 1.5 being max) and not 300mm to 400mm (300 being min and 400mm max as was stated in a letter)

708.553.1.9

0.5m - 1.5m.

708.553.1.9.....

The socket-outlets shall be placed at a height of 0.5m to 1.5m from the ground to the lowest part of the socket-outlet. In special cases, due to environmental conditions such as risk of flooding or heavy snowfall, the maximum height is permitted to exceed 1.5m.

BUT - You need to consider what a Leisure accomadation Vehicle is though, as this is what this reg applies to.

Leisure accommodation vehicle: A unit of living accommodation for temporary or seasonal occupation which may meet requirements for construction and use of road vehicles.

thanks guys

i was sent a big letter from a big company with pictures on how not to do it and this is the way to do it !!

but was clearly stated the armoured cables coming out the ground must not exceed 300 to 400 mm max to bottom of box ??

i sat thinking thats wrong

i pulled regs out to find exact reg number and wrote it next to there letter but dont know if i should stand up to them and tell them they are wrong ??

As I said, you need to consider what a Leisure Accomadation Vehicle is, as this is what this reg applies to.

If this is a park home for example, the reg does not apply to it.
