Thanks Sean, I've not seen that particular tester before.. Presumably if I make up a round three pin plug to normal 13amp socket adaptor/test cable, in the event of any problems in the caravan, I could then test direct on the site outlet to get an indication where the issue was...
Thanks mate...
Somebody on one of the sites last year was using a rubber mat to step down on to and while we were chatting, suggested it was a worth while additional safety feature...
Not too sure what to make of the idea, especially in wet weather, although I can't see it doing any harm...
We bought a decent condition touring caravan last year that had been recently serviced by a dealer and with a report basically saying among other things the electric were testing ok and safe.

I have to say this is the bit that confuses me along with the difference between bonding and earthing...
In the kitchen example quoted we have a faulty kettle casing at 240V and lets say we have a metal sink that is also bonded to lets say a towel rail. Both of those items are supposed to be...
I think I still have one of those saws somewhere! lol
