Don't think we could camp without our EHU, we picked it up off ebay for a reasonable price and havent looked back since.  I know some people don't like them but with young kids and bad weather - its a great compromise!! We have the dvd player, fridge, heater, electric light, electric pump for the air beds, electric kettle. toaster.............wonder if I can fit a microwave in next time??

How loud is your 'electric pump'?  The sound of several going at once has ruined my peace many times.

From the list above, you really do take everything bar the kitchen sink...but correct me if you do!

Camping should be pleasureable and not a grind.  I personally prefer the option of EHU.  Heater, laptop, Mini DVD player.... we have a lot of crap weather and you must have something to keep 3 kids entertained.

Since mini DVD players didn't exist when most of us were young; how did we manage to be entertained?

Camping now, I tend to see that small kids are less concerned by bad weather than the adults.  With a waterproof on, they like splashing in the puddles and mud as much as I did!

To be fair, electric pumps are only on for a few minutes at a time. I don`t use an EHU, except for heat in early or late season camping, but my aerobed has a rechargable pump that I use for a whole 2 minutes at the beginning of my trip.

However, my children do love donning wellies / walking boots and waterproofs, and disappearing around the site with their mates. We occ. take the DS`s for them. But usually, unless they have friends with them, they don`t get used.

Hi

Just to let you know, on the campsite search it has a feature for sites with wifi

save you having to get a dongle
