Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Every time you use one of those \u2018death leads\u2019, you risk an overload because they always allow more current through than it\u2019s designed for. That can quickly spell fire, one that your insurance policy won\u2019t pay out for.

With an Ampfibian caravan power adaptor as a travelling companion, you can also hook your van up at a mate\u2019s place or anywhere else a 10A power point is the only option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check them out <a href=\"https:\/\/ampfibian.co.nz\/store\/\">here<\/a> or hit your local hardware or caravan accessory store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only with a 15A to 10A power adaptor or getting an electrician to fit a dedicated 15A power point at home, but without either of those, don\u2019t even think about it.
