I have camped for years and never felt the need for EHU 

some people need the extra luxury that That EHU provides but some can manage without, it depends really on your needs and what you expect from your trip

It is totally a personal choice

Have you got an electric coolbox, lights , kettle etc?

If so then you will need an EHU cable

We managed for years without EHU and have it now , I would happily go without it but OH wont

If you do decide to get a cable then get a proper one and not a cheap ebay jobbie.

EHU is useful for the kettle, lights, fan heater & charging the batteries for the phone & camera.  It is expensive to get all the bits & pieces & not essential.  Try camping a few times to see if you like it first.  The weatther isn't that cold at the moment.

As Oldham says if you haven't booked a pitch with EHU, then its pointless.  A proper EHU will cost between £40-£60 depending on what deals are on in various shops at the moment and that's a lot of money. You don't need it at this stage.  Go away for the weekend and see if you and the gf enjoy it - if you both do you will probably decide the money is better spent on getting better/warmer sleeping bags etc to replace your Argos ones.

Try the whole experience out first and then you can start to decide what your priorities are when you get back.

Entirely down to personal choice.

I really feel the cold quite badly due to a medical condition so I knew I would never enjoy camping if I was cold.
I also hate feeling "pinned down" so lots of layers wasn't really an option for me so we bought EHU from the start.

Absolutely love camping but I need my EHU like others need their alcohol!!!!!
