240v & 12v Sockets
Require 240v sockets for when plugged into campsite mains. I considered normal domestic sockets, but thought I wanted something a little more fancier / modular. Looking around and asking on the vwt4forum, I was lead to the products from CBE components. Best / easiest supplier is www.marcleleisure.co.uk. The mounting frame (the bit with the 3 squares in it) comes with the surround frame.

I cut the holes in the ply (51mm diameter), then lined the ply:

 CBE Holes Lined |
When I put it all together, I thought they were a bit shabby / lose fit. I mean that when you inserted a plug into the socket, the unit pushed into the ply. Investigation found that I had trimmed the lining away from two of the corners:

 CBE Socket corners packed out |

So removed the sockets, put some little bits of carpet lining under the corners, refitted and all was well. With a lot of pressure, I could not depress the socket below the frame.

The switches are going to be used for lighting – I think.
