...sorry this may be a silly question but i have only ever been camping - once last year and didnt get round to buying a lead. just really wondered what you can plug into it(?!). last year we only had one lantern so thinking of additional lighting, may be fridge, but what ese do you need them for.

have also heard that the lead should be a certain colour - can anyone elaborate on that??

thanks, sian

Hi all...

I noticed a 42" plasma TV in a tent last year.  Crikey!  I thought part of the camping life was to get back to nature!

Saying that, we take a small fridge, elec kettle, hair dryer (not for me mind.... my short back and sides doesn't warrant one!), heater depending on time of year for the kids.... errrrrr that's about it.

Was thinking about rigging up some decent lighting mind?  Hmmmmm any suggestions from you out there on the lighting front??

For us EHU means we can take my disabled mum camping with us ,as a bonus we get to charge our batteries and have decent lighting ( well we paid for it anyway so might as well use it ! )

hi pooroldbugger ,we have a flouresent (sp? ) plug in inspection lamp from towsure,I think it was around £6

Hi thanks for all your responses. Don't want to take everything but the kitchen sink  with us but with 2.5 year old twins and an 11 and 12 year old, some things, i feel, are essential like decent lighting and warmth. after all its my break too and if i can take my laptop with me so the kids can watch a dvd if need be then surely thats not so bad is it ................?!? 

thanks for all your help.
