I managed without EHU this time, my cool box stayed cool, and kept the children fit changing the icepacks several times a day!

I don't drink much tea or coffee so didn't miss my kettle, and my grill on my little stove was surprisingly good so I got my toast.  The major downside was not being able to charge my phone, silly woman that I am charged it in car, forgot and left it plugged in for hours, came to leave campsite - and guess what flat battery, so thankyou if it was you that was pushing me around, to get me on my way.

I am thinking about October half term camping, and for that will definately need EHU I can't live without my heater in cold weather.

4. Fridge.
.... I can't envisage a week of just tinned, dried and packet foods (or god forbid takeaways).

Fresh fruit, veg and eggs don't need a fridge.  We've just come back from two weeks camping without a fridge, we had EU but no car and I didn't fancy lugging a fridge across the country.  I used quite a few tins (kidney beans, chick peas, chopped tomatoes, fish) and dried food (rice, noodles cous cous) and even some packets (dried falafel mix and sponge cake mixes) and lots of fresh veg too keep us supplied with healthy meals.

You can even have fresh meat if you buy it and use it immediately (we had a nice king prawn and pasta thingy with frozen prawns bought earlier in the day).

The biggest change to my usual cooking habits was that I wasn't able to keep any leftovers.
