Is It Safe to Plug Your Motorhome In at Home?

Can you safely hook up your motorhome at home? It's something thousands of motorhome owners do every day, but could your home hook-up be hiding a serious electrical risk? If you've ever left your motorhome plugged into the mains on your driveway, this episode could change the way you think about it.

Motorhome Matt and Keith are joined by electrical expert Jordan Farley from Artisan Electrics to unpack the facts behind home hook-ups. What is a PME supply? Why do some homes have an earth rod while others don't? What is a PEN fault, and why does it matter to motorhome owners? Together, we break down the regulations, explain how earthing really works, and separate genuine safety concerns from common myths, all in plain English.

Plus, we're giving away a made-to-measure memory foam mattress from The Foam People. One lucky winner will receive a custom-sized mattress, built to fit their campervan or motorhome perfectly.
