Product Description
Ampfibian RV-PLUS 15A Caravan Adapter, 2 Year Warranty. Insurance policies include wording about “non-standard equipment” limiting your ability to make a claim. The Ampfibian RV-PLUS power adaptor is a certified and government registered article allowing it to adapt your caravan to a normal powerpoint.
The insurance companies are dead right: drawing too much electricity through a powerpoint creates a fire hazard. That’s why making death-, cheater-, pigtail-leads is illegal.
The Ampfibian RV-PLUS doesn’t just save houses and insurance, it also contains a residual current device (RCD) which protects people from the effects of electrocution due to faulty appliances and wiring.
A built-in, resettable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) prevents overloads, adding another layer of protection.
Because you never know where you’ll end up, the Ampfibian RV-PLUS is also completely weatherproof and has a built-in padlock attachment point, that also locks the lid. Compact and tough it tucks away when not in use.
The package is rounded off with the conveniently located power indicator light, a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, and is proudly made in Australia!

The RV-PLUS - Caravan Power Adaptor
Product Q&A
-
What is an RCD?
A Residual Current Device is an extremely fast acting switch that cuts the power when it detects a difference in the power going into the circuit against the power coming back out. If a difference is detected then the RCD trips almost instantly as the power must have found a way to go somewhere else other then back to the supply.

Whats the difference between an ampfibian mini, rv plus and a max?
MINI - an indoor, undercover adaptor for the D.I.Y home handyman and workshop. (Popular with welders.
RV-PLUS - exclusively designed and made for travellers to connect their caravan/RV/camper-trailers to normal 10A outlets. It is completely weatherproof and meets all applicable Australian Standards.
MAX - the extra-tough, weatherproof adaptor for trades and construction. It has a H-Class (heavy-duty) rating making it suitable for commercial use.
All of the above come with an overload protection breaker plus RCD and adapt devices from 15A to 10A.

Do the ampfibians meet electrical standards?
Yes, all Ampfibians comply to Australian Standards!
The Ampfibian RV-02MAX and the Industrial Range are approved under AS/NZS 3190:2011 “Approval and test specification – Residual current devices (current-operated earth-leakage devices)” which includes portable RCDs, and their use complies with AS/NZS 3001:2008/Amdt 1:2012 “Electrical Installations – Portable structures and vehicles including their site supplies” which covers caravans, campers and motor homes. The MAX is also approved for member use by the “Campervan & Motorhome Club of Australia Ltd” (CMCA).
The Ampfibian MINI is approved under AS/NZS 3190:2011, but its use does not comply with the recommendations of AS/NZS3001:2008, making the MAX the safest, most compliant and flexible option for outdoor RV and caravan use.
There is a lot of mis-information about how various Australian Standards apply to caravans/RVs, extension lead lengths and capacities, portable RCDs, weatherproofing, impact resistance. After years of close consultation with standards experts and approval authorities, we can categorically state that the RV02-MAX is the safest, most compliant way to connect your 15A RV/caravan to a 10A power supply in Australia in any situation.
The MAX and the Industrial Range carry a H-Class rating, allowing them to be used commercially on work sites in construction, mining and other industries.
