Do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure I read somewhere on the net, that a van should NOT be connected to a normal house socket. Is this correct? I ask because I have been offered the opportunity to stay in friends yard rather than an expensive caravan park. I won't have the money to set the van up as a self runn...
