Hi, I have the 5m Soulpad Hybrid Genie, there is a place at the back of the tent (nearly opposite the door) where you can unzip and put your EHU unit through, as I do.

Re weight of tent, I find this tent very heavy (am female, 5'4") and can't carry it due to its weight and packsize, I have to sort of hoist if from the ground into the boot of the car.  However, I don't remove the ZIG, so if you decide to unzip, you wouldn't have this issue, and you may be stronger than me too!

Good luck.

I'm 5'9" female and find the 5m belltent with zig very heavy, I  can manage to get it in and out of the car but struggle to take it any distance. we store it under the kids bed when not in use and getting it upstairs is a job and a half. On the other hand it is well worth it as its easily the nicest tent we have.

You can put the cable for EHU either side of the door or through at the back where the zips meet as described by Humbird.

Newer models from belltent also have the drop down section on the door groundsheet. Ours purchased last year doesn't do this but our parents tent bought this year does, although we never take the zips apart far enough for it to disconnect.
