[QUOTE="shockaroonie, post: 515670, member: 31754"] So sorry to tag same thread after such a long time. I got the work done by electrician shortly after the advice provided. He took feed from nearest socket in house onto a fused spur in house then fed armoured cable to the cabin. The cable just went into double socket and a feed from which fed 4 other sockets in cabin. After about 1 month the double socket blew out but didn’t trip the fused sour. The casing was totally black with melted wires. I called the guy in the morning long story short but he never returned. To be honest I wouldn’t have trusted him anyway. I replaced the socket myself and checked all the wiring he had installed. It’s been fine since but very wary it may be good fortune Rather than anything else. Would it be a good idea to add a consumer unit in cabin and feed sockets / lights from that ? I want tv , fridge small heater and lights in cabin and wary current set up may be at risk of overloading. [/QUOTE]
