    Hi
    I was wondering if anybody here in Boards world knows what electrical hook up will work in France.
    I am going camping there in August and want to bring an electrical hook up.
    I was looking at this one....

    Can anybody help.
    thanks

    In my expereience its mostly the same as home.

    Some pitches require an extra long lead. You would be wise to check the distance of the hook up point before you accept a pitch and before you park up.

    Ocassionally, you will come across a French 2 pin type, but when I have the campsite had an adaptor for a nominal rent. You can buy those before you leave here if you want.

    I have read a lot about reverse polarity but have never had a problem and can say I never came across this problem.

    So in my experience that Blue 3 pin will do the job.

    Have a ball.
