I've never tent camped with EHU. Power - gas, batteries, don't forget solar. I have a small netbook that I might be tempted to take on longer trips one day, but I still wouldn't bother to get EHU, just charge the battery up fully (+ maybe consider a spare) before you go. For lighting we use a solar-powered Sun Jar, leave it outside all day, then it comes on in the evening, fantastic, and I've seen solar chargers for MP3 players, mobiles, might even do my netbook and your laptop player (don't know how good they are though).
Life without electricity is actually OK

Hi all,
I am looking to camp in July but the site I want has no EHU left, the only reason I wanted it was for playinga DVD at night for the young lad. I have seen some cig lighter chargers at Maplin which i could use in the day whilst travelling about and then it would be ready for night....what do you think? Anyone go non EHU regular? how do you power anything?
What about reading to him instead? Not sure the age of your DS - but last weekend on the campsite DH started reading an Alex Rider book to our two... he's up there reading the next chapter now LOL!
Son (8) said he liked daddy reading to him as if he shut his eyes and imagined it, it was like watching a film. He said it was the same if he read it himself, but quicker if daddy read it as he didn't understand all the words. Quality time together - just what camping is about, and I think DH is enjoying the story as well!
Son read the first two himself, but having got a box of 6 for Xmas I reckon DH will now be busy for quite a few weeks...

Our 10yr old will literally finish a big book like 'Brisinger' within a weekend camping. Even on train journey's we don't take anything other than books
