Professional Heavy Duty Hookup Cable for Caravans and Motorhomes
The heavy duty hookup cable from Camping Pro delivers professional-grade power distribution for caravans, motorhomes, camper vans and camping installations. Built with robust 2.5mm twin and earth copper cable, this hookup lead provides reliable 32A power capacity to meet the demands of modern touring and outdoor living. Whether you’re connecting to a caravan site power post or running a generator setup, this cable ensures safe, consistent electrical supply throughout your trip.
Superior Construction and Materials
At the heart of this heavy duty hookup cable lies premium 2.5mm twin and earth copper construction, engineered to handle sustained 32A current loads without voltage drop or overheating. The copper conductors provide excellent electrical conductivity whilst maintaining flexibility even in colder conditions. The highly flexible orange outer sheath offers high visibility for safety whilst remaining supple enough to coil and uncoil easily, making setup and pack-down quick and hassle-free.
The cable terminates in quality 16amp blue sockets and plugs conforming to industry standards. These industrial-grade connectors ensure reliable contact and weatherproof performance season after season. The bright blue colour coding instantly identifies the 16A rating, preventing connection errors that could damage equipment or create safety hazards.
Full Regulatory Compliance and Safety Standards
Safety is paramount when dealing with mains electricity outdoors, which is why this heavy duty hookup cable meets all relevant British and European standards. Full compliance with BS 7671 (the UK wiring regulations), EN 60309 (industrial plugs and sockets), and BS6500 (portable electrical equipment) ensures this cable meets rigorous safety requirements for outdoor electrical installations.
The IP44 water resistance rating provides dependable protection against rain, splashes and moisture ingress, making this cable suitable for year-round use in British weather conditions. This protection covers both the cable itself and the connector housings, giving you peace of mind during wet weather camping trips.
Versatile Length Options for Every Application
Available in generous length options ranging from 10 metres to 100 metres, this heavy duty hookup cable adapts to virtually any pitch configuration. Shorter lengths suit compact sites or nearby power posts, whilst longer runs enable you to reach distant hookup points or position your caravan exactly where you want it. Despite the substantial lengths available, the flexible cable coils compactly for easy storage and transport between journeys.
For those requiring additional outlets at their pitch, consider pairing this cable with our Caravan Camping Mains Electric Hookup Extension Lead Cable 4 Way Gang UK to distribute power to multiple appliances safely.
Perfect for Multiple Outdoor Power Applications
Whilst designed primarily for caravan and motorhome hookup, this versatile cable excels in numerous outdoor electrical scenarios. Camper van conversions benefit from the robust construction and flexible routing options. Camping setups with multiple tents or gazebos can rely on the 32A capacity to power lighting, heating and cooking appliances. The cable also serves admirably for outdoor events, market stalls, mobile catering units and temporary work sites requiring reliable mains power.
Boat owners and marina users will appreciate the marine-grade construction and water resistance, making this cable suitable for shore power connections. Garden workshops, allotment sheds and outdoor construction projects also benefit from the heavy duty specification and weather protection.
Easy Storage and Transport
Despite its heavy duty construction, the cable remains remarkably flexible and easy to handle. The orange sheath resists kinking and maintains its flexibility across a wide temperature range, from cold winter mornings to hot summer days. When it’s time to pack up, the cable coils neatly without fighting back, storing compactly in your caravan locker or motorhome garage.
The visible orange colour makes the cable easy to locate in storage and highly visible when laid across pitches, reducing trip hazards. This high-visibility design is particularly valuable in busy campsites where multiple cables may be running between caravans and hookup points.
Enhanced Power Distribution Options
For touring setups requiring cable management solutions, our 16A Camping Mains Hookup Cable Reel with 4 UK Sockets | 5-20m offers an organised alternative with built-in socket distribution. Alternatively, if you need to convert between standard UK domestic connections and caravan hookup systems, the UK Plug to Caravan Hookup Socket Extension Cable 5-30M provides versatile connectivity.
Technical Specifications
The 2.5mm² conductor size provides the optimal balance between current-carrying capacity and cable flexibility. This specification supports the full 32A rating whilst remaining manageable to deploy and store. The twin and earth configuration includes live, neutral and earth conductors, ensuring complete safety earthing for connected equipment.
The 16amp blue connectors use the IEC 60309 standard, widely adopted across European campsites and caravan parks. This standardisation ensures compatibility wherever your travels take you, from UK coastal sites to continental touring routes.

This cable really is excellent quality, we buy a lot of these for our camp site and have seen a lot of rubbish over the years. You pay for what you get but this one really is worth the price.
