Default Mains unit - what use is it?

No reply from the campers, so can anyone here help? This question
to do with electric points/connections at camping sites.

A friend has just bought a "Utility Mobile Mains Unit", offering
"protection against current overloads" - it has twin 13A sockets,
10A DP MCB, and a blue weatherproof plug [like a 110v transformer
connector] to connect to a camping-site electric point.

What is the point of this? Presumably, it will only protect the
*camping site* supply from excessive load. It doesn't have an RCD
incorporated, so appears useless for personal shock protection.

FWIW, it's supplied by Tony Wild Camping, manufactured in the UK
by Semloh Electrics of Long Eaton, part: SEAMMU. It cost £69.99!!

Should it be returned/sold on, or be used with a plug-in RCD?
