Caravan Power Points & Switches

Need reliable power points and switches for your caravan or 4WD across Australia? Our range keeps your setup safe and compliant on every trip. Power points and switches in this category are double pole designs. They cut power from both active and neutral lines when switched off. This prevents shocks in mobile setups like caravans and RVs. Standard single pole outlets only isolate the active line. They do not meet Australian rules for recreational vehicles. Double pole points solve this by adding full isolation. Many include USB ports for charging phones and devices. Others offer weatherproof covers for outdoor use. They fit caravans, camper trailers, and touring vehicles nationwide. These products power appliances safely during off-grid camping or site hookups. Short paragraphs keep it simple.

FAQ's

What caravan power accessories do I need for an off-grid setup?

Most off-grid setups start with essentials: a battery charger, battery monitor, fuses, wiring, sockets, and other 12V caravan electrical accessories matched to your power usage and battery system. If you run appliances like a fridge, lights, pumps, or chargers, choose caravan power accessories that support safe power distribution and charging while travelling or camping off-grid.

Yes, this category focuses on caravan and 4WD use in Australian touring conditions, including vibration, heat, and long-distance travel. When choosing 4WD electrical parts, focus on durable components that suit your vehicle setup and load requirements.
Start by listing what you need to power, how long you travel, and what battery or charging system your caravan uses. Then select 12V caravan electrical accessories compatible with your existing wiring, battery type, and installation requirements.
Yes, the category notes these products support solar tie-ins and battery charging for off-grid travel. That makes them suitable for customers building or expanding caravan power systems with solar and renewable components.
A battery monitor or tester helps you track available power and avoid issues like flat batteries during travel. On this category page, products such as battery chargers and capacity testers show that monitoring and charging gear are core to maintaining a reliable 12V setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a double pole power point?

A double pole power point, also called a double pole GPO, isolates both the active and neutral conductors when switched off, unlike a standard household outlet that only cuts the active line.

This makes it the safe and compliant choice for caravans, motorhomes, and camper trailers, where the power source can switch between mains, a generator, and an inverter. All power points in this range are double-pole by design.

Do caravan power points need to be double pole in Australia?

Yes. AS/NZS 3001:2008 requires all 240V outlets in caravans, motorhomes, and moveable dwellings to be double-pole, switching both the active and neutral lines simultaneously.

A standard single-pole household GPO does not meet this requirement. Using one in a caravan can void your insurance, fail a compliance check, and create genuine safety risks, especially when powered by a generator or inverter.

Are caravan power points the same as house power points?

No. Caravan power points are double-pole; standard Australian household power points are single-pole.

They share the same three-flat-pin plug format (AS/NZS 3112), but the internal switching is different. A household GPO is non-compliant in a caravan under AS/NZS 3001:2008; always fit a double-pole outlet in any moveable dwelling.

Should I choose a single or double outlet power point for my caravan?

Choose a single outlet if you need one plug position, for example, next to a bed or in a bathroom. Choose a double outlet if you want two plug positions from the one mounting point, which is more practical in a kitchen or lounge area.

Both single and double outlet power points in this range are double pole and compliant with AS/NZS 3001:2008. They are available in black and white, and in horizontal or vertical orientation to suit your van's layout.

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical power point mounting?

Horizontal and vertical refer to the orientation of the outlet plate on the wall not the plug position. A horizontal power point has its outlets arranged side by side across the plate; a vertical power point has them stacked one above the other.

The choice comes down to the space available in your caravan wall cavity and the aesthetic you prefer. Both orientations are functionally identical and available in single and double outlet configurations in black and white.

Can I use a double pole power point with a generator or inverter?

Yes, and it is the only safe option when powering a caravan from a generator or inverter.

Both sources can produce reverse polarity, where the active and neutral lines are transposed. A double-pole GPO breaks both conductors simultaneously, so the outlet is completely de-energised when switched off regardless of how the supply is wired.

Do I need a licensed electrician to install a caravan power point?

Yes. All 240V electrical work in Australia, including installing a power point in a caravan, must be carried out by a licensed electrician.

DIY 240V wiring is illegal for unlicensed individuals in all states and territories and can void insurance or fail a safety inspection. You can select the right product yourself a licensed electrician handles the installation.

How many gang switches do I need for my caravan lighting?

The number of gangs matches the number of independent lighting circuits you want to control from one switch plate.

As a guide: 1–2 gang suits small campers or pop-tops; 3–4 gang covers most standard caravans; 5–6 gang suits large vans or motorhomes with separate bedroom, lounge, kitchen, and exterior lighting zones. All switches in this range are 12V DC rated and available in black or white.

What is an architrave switch and where is it used in a caravan?

An architrave switch is a narrow-profile light switch designed to fit in tight spaces where a standard switch plate won't typically fit, alongside door frames, in slim wall sections, or in small slide-out compartments.

In caravans and motorhomes, architrave switches are commonly used near entrance doors or in narrow galley sections. They are available as 2-gang in black or white and are a neat solution where wall space is at a premium.

What is a 12V cigarette lighter socket used for in a caravan?

A 12V cigarette lighter socket, also called a 12V accessory socket, lets you power or charge 12V accessories directly from your caravan's battery, without going through the 240V mains system.

Common uses include portable fridges, tyre inflators, dash cams, and USB adapters. It is a simple, cost-effective way to add 12V power access in a caravan, camper trailer, or 4WD without requiring a licensed electrician for the low-voltage installation.
