looking for advice on cable type for mobile cabins..

I’m guessing they fall under the same regs as portable caravans just can’t find reg of which cable as it’s a portable building wondering if someone has advice on this

Thanks in advance

Think this is covered in 717.52.2

I would say mobile cabins ie portacabin style site offices etc are regular twin and earth, as are static caravans.

They are transportable, rather than towable.

The 230V side of a touring caravan that gets pulled up and down a motorway at 70mm is wired in flex.
