This may sound a stupid question - but as a tenter, I've noticed trailer tents amonst the caravan, with EHU etc, when I've been told that there are no EHU for tents - some sites even allow trailer tents  where they dont allow normal tents.
As trailer tent owners - do sites class you differently than normal tents - on a par with caravans?

Reason I ask is that we were thinking of saving for one - OH athritis is starting to kick in in colder weather on a more regular basis, and EHU would give the advantage of getting a better heater - and give us a longer season.

TTs & FCs often have a built in mains unit such as a ZIG, so the installation is similar to that of a caravan. I expect that is the thinking behind the site owners decisions.

Sorry to sound dopey, but what does EHU stand for? I've come across it on many postings.

I have this wee mix up everytime I book for a meet..where it states "No EHU allowed in tents...cos in my mind my TT is a Tent...on wheels..and bigger than your average Tent...But still a TENT...Saying that..Ive never had a problem with..or been refused hook up since I started using it 3 yrs ago...I reckon owners of sites are maybe being over cautious...given the flamability of a lot of the new poly based tents...But I still carry a 12volt battery for lighting as back up..and my fridge will work on gas if the need arises.....

My firend and i have used tents with EHU all last year with no probs, we just said that we wanted EHU and never gave then the opportunity to say no...
