Hi all

I have been back on here lately after a hectic year, and not even 1 nights camping....

I was talking to my mum about possible camping trips next year and was discussing early April which was when I mentioned I might buy ehu she shot me down in flames saying most sites won't accept ehu for tents, only for caravans.

Now i'm sure I have seen loads of posters on here who hookup whilst in a tent, has anybody ever been refused by a site before. And all those that do have a tent that use ehu please post so I can show her......

Many Thanks, Melx

Thanks.

I thought this was the case, I would only buy a 'proper' one anyway. But will definately show her your replies (if no-one objects) so I can prove it is not a waste of money buying one.

There are some sites (smaller ones) who don't allow EHUs for tents because the leccy supply is only 6 amp and they fear that it is more likely that tenters will want to run heaters than that caravanners would.

But mostly sites allow it.

We have never been refused EHU in our tent.

I always contact the site in advance and say we're a tent requiring EHU and they have always accommodated us.

Only one site we went to had a seperate field for tents which had no electric supply, but the owners made us aware of this.
When we arrived they said they'd had a cancellation and we could use a caravan grass pitch which had EHU.

Definately worth contacting the sites beforehand as they do differ from one to another.
