  1. Thats just an empty enclosure. You would need the RCD and MCB to go in there.

    Youl be needing something like this:

    You could buy the bits seperately but the units usually sold for camper/caravans are good to go as somtimes its a faff getting an enclosure with the right bits in it as they dont always come assembled.

    Theres this for instance but you would need to downrate the 32 Amp to 16amp for your sockets.
    You will also need an inlet. (do you want to fit flush to the bus or hide it away).

    Reckon you could get everything for about £50 but try ebay for a mains hook up kit!

  5. what zed said try your local electrical supplies place, tell them what you intend doing and get there advice i'd say you need a 2way distibution box (commonly used for adding power to sheds and garages etc) a rcd (legal requirement), a 16amp mcb for socket/s and a 6amp mcb for your zigunit/wired in battery charger plus a 16a blue male commando socket for the inlet and a bit of cable (the orange hook up lead stuff is best as its designed to stay flexible at low temps)
