I do pretty much the same as Nicolaburns but I also use an ordinary household extension lead plugged into one of the EHU sockets to give me a bit more flexibility...just watch the amps to make sure I'm not overloading.

On my Outwell Carolina 3 the EHU inlet zip is really on the wrong side of the tent. It is on the same side as the side door, hence there are less places to put the sockets without trailing a lead all round the tent or having it running across the bedroom pod door or the front door. If you have a tent with lots of pods it must be very difficult securing the lead safely.

Hard to explain but I'll take as much of the slack as poss and run it along the edge of the fly sheet round the edge of the tent.

Our electric entrance slot is at the back of the tent and we tend to have the fridge/kettle at the front of the tent in the porch, so rather than using the proper slot we just pop it under the fly sheet.

When I've get to the back of the tent, I'll zig zag it with each zig being a few metres alongside the tent so it doesn't get tripped up on.

The EHU we have has clips on the back and we have cliped it onto the table leg before as our tent doesn't have the poles required for this.
