ABL Multifunction Exterior Socket Schuko 230 V, 12 V and 2 x SAT, dark grey, IP44 - Power and TV Outside the Motorhome
- ABL multifunction exterior socket, dark grey: Schuko 230 V, 12 V DC and 2 x SAT under one magnetic lid. IP44, 95 mm mounting hole.
The ABL multifunction exterior socket in dark grey combines three connections under one lid: a 230 V Schuko socket, a 12 V DC socket and two SAT antenna sockets. It is fitted in the wall of a motorhome or caravan, usually next to the door or under the awning, and powers a TV, lamp or charger outside.
An evening under the awning
Put the TV in the awning, connect it to the 230 V socket and to one of the SAT sockets linked to the satellite dish on the roof. The second SAT socket serves a second receiver or tuner. The 12 V socket powers a cool box, lamp or charger without switching on the inverter.
- 1 x Schuko socket 230 V, 16 A
- 1 x 12 V DC socket
- 2 x SAT antenna sockets
- IP44 protection rating
Magnetic lid
ABL lids open wide, up to 180°, and the metal hinge axle is hidden. The lid is held by magnets, so it does not spring open or rattle while driving. All visible parts are made of UV-resistant plastic, so the colour lasts.
Installation and wiring
The socket goes into a round 95 mm hole and the frame is screwed to the wall. The 230 V part must be wired through the vehicle residual current device, so leave this part to an electrician. Protect the 12 V socket with its own fuse and connect the SAT sockets to the antenna system with coaxial cable.
Other colours
The same set of connections is also available in other colours: white, anthracite, black, light grey.

Questions and answers
Can I connect a TV with a satellite dish here?
Yes. The SAT sockets must first be wired to the vehicle satellite system with antenna cable, and the TV is powered from the 230 V socket.
Does the 230 V socket work without campsite power?
Only if an inverter or generator supplies the 230 V system. The 12 V socket runs from the leisure battery.
What hole do I need?
A round hole of 95 mm. The frame covers the edge of the hole.
