Indoors in the UK it's a BS1363 socket. Outdoors on a camp site it will most likely be a CEE 17 blue single-phase. But it's possible you might get CEE 17 red three-phase in some situations. I've a vague memory there are other connectors used in marine applications. Also, although BS1363 connectors are for indoor usage, it's possible to get weatherproof housings for external use. So even in just the UK, if a camp site says power hook-ups are available you can't be sure what connector is used. Most likely CEE 17 blue, but maybe not. Things get worse in Germany and France, as far as the indoor connectors go. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#CEE_7_standard and try to guess what you might get in either country. I expect they also have weatherproof housings for external use. Hence power_supply=yes means there is a hook-up but the mapper doesn't know what it is. -- Paul
