Anyone used one of these? looks a bit smarter than the standard 16A blue plug & socket

Not that one but similar size. These are and have been used decades up here. Specified and certified to 250V/16Amps and the cable itself for installation even in engine bay.
Another company with similar product.

That's a nice solution. My only concern would be the physical strength of the plug if the cable gets tripped over but that's more to do with where you put it and it's easy enough to support the cable separately.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't put a black plug on the outside of an orange bumper though!

I like this mod but unfortunately mine has barn doors
Cheapest way of doing it is probably to fit the hook up under the bonnet near the battery,run a cable to a small consumer unit under one of your seats and connect a couple of sockets to the consumer unit. This is how we done ours and it is pretty straighforward. Have a look at Travelvolts website and he does a kit with full instructions to do this job. If you want any more info ask Martyn @travelvolts and he will advise you on anything electrical,hope this helps
Worth a nose @ Martyn’s site and his PDF’s on the subject mains hook up

Cheapest option is to do it yourself, it really is an easy DIY job. If you can wire a plug, you can do it. I've just done the same in my lads T5 using the smallest consumer unit from Martyn mounted under the drivers seat, hook-up connector under the bonnet, 15mm flexi conduit, via the grommet under the drivers seat. From the consumer unit a pair of sockets behind the drivers seat for his coolbox etc, and a 3-way with two mains and a 12v socket at the back. Eagle-eyes will notice that I couldnt get matching surrounds during lockdown

did you get this from Martyn as well?
No I bought this one as it’s a good size but I had to change the RCB to a duel/ double pole as the one it comes with is a single
The cheapest option to start with is to just use a EHU extension cable.
like this one,
they plug into the EHU point,
then run it into the VAN,
you then have 240v socketrs to plkug into,
They must have an RDC and double pole breaker for saftey . . .

heres an older style thatrs availible. (i have one of these but havent used it yet)
i got it from GoOutdoors.
