Hi,
I have a client with a small caravan site, approx 5 hookups.
His old toilet block was nothing much more than an old shed.
He's now 'upgraded' to using an old walk-in freezer, no wheels, but was just lifted onto blocks from a trailer.
He has kitted it out with 4 toilets and one shower which will eventually run from the gas boiler.
I don't like it, anything about it, but he wants me to install a socket1 in each of the toilet cubicles for macerators.
1 fused spur or socket for a panel heater to keep temps above freezing/comfortable, and lighting, obviously including emergency lighting. Oh and supply for boiler. None of that is an issue per se.
The unit isn't large, approx 3m x 5m. I'll have to surface mount all fittings, all rated against moisture ingress, surface mount conduit to run cabling.
I'm stuck deciding where to locate the consumer unit. If it goes inside, just through the door, it's around 2m from the shower, but the shower is within a cubicle. A metal consumer unit won't do, it'll need to be rated, and then be installed within a second enclosure i suspect. Other option is on the outside of the building, again, will need another enclosure to protect from the elements.
The supply will be SWA from the central ground distribution with a local electrode being installed.
Thoughts on consumer unit location in this instance?
Cheers
