an rcd isnt a double pole MCB

for a tent you need both an rcd and a mcb buy a proper hook up not just plug a rcd its not safe the rcd will only protect what is pluged into it it wont protect you if the fault is in the lead running up to the rcd ie the hookup lead itself

Electric in tents?!? Water & electric don't mix too well. I go camping to get away from all mod cons

After listening to many people (and actualy beign posted a lick) I bought a horizontal triple cocket unit for £55 including postage.  For the safety on site this PROPER unit will provide its worth every penny.  Ive even bought a 3pin mand connector for it and Im going to use it as a garden extention

Exactly!!!! What is the point of having eleccy in a tent. I thought the whole idea was to leave all that behind, why don't you just go to a b&b or something.....
