16A Caravan Hook-Up Cable Reels
The industry-standard 16 amp caravan hook-up lead with the familiar blue CEE plug and socket. Compatible with virtually every UK and European campsite electrical bollard, these reels are the go-to choice for touring caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and trailer tents.
Heavy-Duty Cable Reels for Camping
Featuring thick 1.5mm² H07RN-F rubber cable, our heavy-duty reels are far more resistant to heat, overload, abrasion, and UV damage than budget alternatives — making them the smart long-term choice for regular campers and full-time tourers.

The most popular length for caravanning and camping, 25m cable reels give you the flexibility to reach distant hook-up posts without compromising on amperage delivery. Ideal for larger pitches, family-sized awnings, and motorhome layouts.

All cable reels in this category are built for outdoor use, with splashproof sockets, robust drum housings, and rubberised cable that stays flexible even in cold weather.

Caravan Cable Reel Buying Guide
What length of cable reel do I need for camping?
Most UK and European campsites recommend a 25-metre hook-up cable as the standard. This length covers the vast majority of pitch-to-bollard distances. Shorter 10m or 15m reels can work for compact sites, but 25m is the safest all-rounder.
What’s the difference between a cable reel and a hook-up lead?
A traditional caravan hook-up lead is a straight length of cable with a CEE plug at each end. A cable reel winds that cable onto a drum, making storage tidier, deployment quicker, and tangling far less likely. Reels also tend to be more durable in long-term use.
Are these cable reels safe to use in the rain?
Yes — every cable reel in this category is designed for outdoor use, with IP44-rated weatherproof sockets and rubber-sheathed cable. As with all electrical equipment, sockets should be protected from direct standing water.
Do I need to fully unwind the cable reel before use?
For high-power appliances, yes — always fully unwind the reel to prevent heat build-up. Our heavy-duty reels include thermal cut-out protection as a safety backup, but full unwinding remains best practice.
Will a UK caravan cable reel work on European campsites?
Yes. The 16A blue CEE connector is the universal European standard, so your hook-up cable will work across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and beyond.
