wanted small metal box

[oldish hippy]

big enough to fit in hook up cable plugged ino socket but need to be secure as having a new door fitted and cable wont go under that so thinking about having a cable fitted through the door frame to socket out side but it will only be extion leadand plugged in when needed but does need to be seecure to stop scroats unplugging mt home lead as van is parked on road do have rubber mats tha go on top of lead to stop peeps tripping over it on pavement and will get a lead that is jut long enough or lock mine through reel to bike rack whilst in use on it will not be overnight but just during the day

How about using one of those cheap safes you could cut a slot out for the cable to go through

to bulky do have a plastic cable box that will do the job just wanted somthing about 4iches wide and six inches and about 3 in depth do know somewhere ican get one made if the worse comes to the wose cant run it through a windoq as on second floor might be worth getting a safe and cutting it down in depth

How about a cash box, lightweight, locking and strong.

Hi Barrie. Long time no contact!
I'm probably missing something here but why not make up a short extension cable with a 13 amp plug on one end and a moho socket on the other end. Before wiring the second fitting (plug or socket) run the cable through a single chain link through which said plug or socket won't pass. Then when you padlock the extension cable reel to the bike rack simply use the chain with the cable passing through it. I imagine you'll have most of the bits for this already!

Or am I really missing something?

Why not have a shower fitted in the house above the bath or am I missing something too. I assume your like me can step into the bath but cannot lay down and cannot get up once you have laid down so a shower above the bath seems the simple answer I now have a large walk in shower for that very reason.

I was thinking about securing the cable that runs from your flat to the moho, Barrie.

The idea of a mains cable to the van over a public footpath amazes me this idea is fraught with Danger should any toerag or tealeaf decide to nick or interfere with hook up lead across the footpath or indeed from a upstairs window, or perhaps a inquisitive child or animal, they will take you to the cleaners listen to Annie and have a shower fitted at home.

Can you run the cable out the second floor window to the van ?

A bit like a washing line, that would avoid the front door and cable on the pavement ?

My late father & step mum had their bath modified to incorporate a hoist, perhaps worth looking into.

Unless his mains intake socket is on the roof it will still be within reach of inquisitive fingers.

This product the same as all this type of cable guard is intended for use indoors and in the workplace to avoid tripping it is not intended for use across a public thoroughfare.
