Discover a safe, legal alternative to this age-old caravanning question.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why you need caravan insurance<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re touring our wide brown land or permanently connected to power at home, caravan insurance is essential. Insurance gives you peace of mind and protection for your valuable asset, inside and out, in case of an accident, natural disaster or theft. Your caravan insurance also covers you for loss or damage to your caravan in the event of an electrical fire \u2013 or does it?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Caravan insurance \u2013 The Fine Print<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it. The Fine Print of your insurance policy is never going to make it to the top of your must-read pile. So it\u2019s no wonder many caravan owners have little idea about the things that can void an insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p>A quick read of some of the most popular caravan insurance policies reveals that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You may not be covered in the event of a rebellion or riot (the Cabin Fever Clause)<\/li>\n<li>You may not be covered if you use nuclear waste or material in your van (the Holidays with Homer Simpson Clause), and,<\/li>\n<li>You may not be covered if you keep illegal combustible or flammable chemicals in your van (The Breaking Bad Clause).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Who knew?<\/p>\n<p>But the main clause that many van owners remain sweetly oblivious to is a little something we at Ampfibian like to call the Death Lead Clause.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Illegal modifications and power cords<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the most common ways van owners accidentally (or sometimes intentionally) put their caravan insurance policy \u2013 and the lives and property of others \u2013 at risk is through the use of non-standard electrical leads.<\/p>\n<p>Your insurance policy will certainly contain wording along the lines of any \u201calterations to the standard equipment on the on-site caravan, touring caravan or trailer which may affect its value, safety, or appearance\u201d could impact your ability to make insurance claims.<\/p>\n<p>Using illegally modified power cords is one such alteration.<\/p>\n<p>Caravans and motor homes come equipped with a 15 amp power inlet which does not fit into domestic 10 amp power points\u2026 some people literally &#8216;force the issue&#8217; resulting in a connection which is both illegal and dangerous.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why &#8216;death leads&#8217; are dangerous<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>So you\u2019ve dodged around and saved a few dollars. Good for you. You\u2019ve set up on a friend\u2019s property using your new piece of electrical handiwork to connect to their home\u2019s 10 amp power supply.\u00a0Your fridge, lights and other appliances all draw power from the main electrical supply. Switch on the telly and you could easily blow a circuit or worse, start a fire that burns down your mate\u2019s house and everything in it. They\u2019re not called &#8216;death leads&#8217; for nothing.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Ampfibian RV-PLUS \u2013 a safe, legal caravan power converter<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We were not about to let a pesky power problem ruin the joys of caravanning, so we came up with a solution.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian-made <a href=\"https:\/\/ampfibian.com.au\/product\/rv-plus-15a-caravan-power-adaptor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ampfibian RV-PLUS caravan power convertor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Simply plug your caravan power cord into the sexy see-through RV-PLUS weatherproof housing, then plug the RV-PLUS power cord into any home 10 amp power socket and away you go.<\/p>\n<p>It features an RCD (Residual Current Device) for personal protection, and a 10 amp circuit breaker for extra peace of mind.
