Residential Caravan homes- minimum supply

[Hobsoni]

i was hoping someone would be able to give me some clarification on minimum ampage supplies for residential caravan homes both past and present.

I believe that if a 'new' home is built then a 63amp supply is required, however not too sure with previous regulations. This is where i come unstuck, an old home with 30 amp supply has a fault on the cable supplying the home. The cable needs replacing, so now that i am installing a new cable does it have to be upgraded to carry 63amps because its classed as a new installation???

Any thoughts or opinions welcome, thanks

Did'nt even dare look at the price on the IKON m8 ............must be a pretty penny

OK I'm totally confused now. I used to build these:

Which were fed from a 16A panel plug.
Sorry if that's "sad and outdated" but to my knowledge there's only one caravan factory around here now.

Apparently the money is made from renting the pitch - you can buy something like an 'inspiration' (the one in my picture) to put in your back garden for around £40k. To buy one on a holiday park costs more like £120k which includes the rent for 3 years, which seems a bit steep to me.

Just banish all caravan/trailer parks. They are an eyesore!
Sorry but I detest them. I turned down a free holiday on the east coast because of them.

As local council say it should be 63A, then if building control are involved or planning then ask with what reference there advice is based on. Electricity Suppliers are always referring to BS 7671 and require a Cert, so as long at it is done to the Regs then ok! Too much involvement with local authority could turn up other issues as I found when browsing for info on this topic.Like :From 1 October 2008 landlords are required to provide an Energy Performance Certificate when they rent out a home. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives information on the energy efficiency of a
