Oh my goodness!!!
I haven't logged on all weekend due to being too busy, BIG PAT ON THE BACK for all you very helpful people out there, cant believe how many people have offered advice! Thanks' a bunch & if any of you are in the same field at the same time as us just pop on over for a large drink to say "thank you".
P.S
You have all scared me to death at how complicated (and, as it appears pointless) it is to have electric in a tent.
From now we are just going to concentrate on enjoying roughing it, after all, isnt that half the fun of camping?!?
Always thought electricity was totally over-rated anyway

Those rotters have put you girls off, I can tell, but if you want an electric light without an EHU, then a leisure battery is a great thing to have. I currently use a power pack type battery similar to the one shown on the previous page with a 17Ah battery, but I intend to have a 110Ah leisure battery for next year, though I will set it up to charge whilst I'm driving. If you take a fully charged battery with you, it will provide lighting, heating and phone charging for at least a week. Don't be fooled into paying more for a so called "leisure battery", at the end of the day they're just lead/acid batteries like the one that starts a car, but do buy a good charger that will keep the battery topped up between trips.
You'll find all you need to know about batteries here. It's a long-ish article, but this guy really knows what he's talking about and is not too technical, although his article is aimed at boat users it applies equally to caravanners, and tenters like you and me.
