Me again

Sorry....

I need to buy a camping friedge that will hook up to mains electricity too but I have no idea where to start so I would love any advice.
Actually I need any advice on anything to buy.

Wwhen we bought the tent and first went camping we got standard things with it so we know now we need:

Cooker stand with storage -  which one is best
Table - with or without storage
Chairs - comfy and one that will hold a 6ft 7 hubby
Blow up beds
Storage for clothes
Heaters?

Anything else you can think off I may have missed! We have cookng bits and washing up bits including stand and lights etc

Wwe're going away for a week and I want to be sure we have everything we need, there will be myself, hubby and a 3 year old!

most camping shops will do what you need,(i use towsure) they do a selection of different fridges,all different shapes and sizes,as for the beds id go for the ones with a "no leak system" all the ones i have had with that system do tend to stay up,mine is a coleman queen bed and i've had a camping gaz one aswell and they both stay up.as for a heater id go for a fan heater but other people go for halogen,i think its just a matter of preference.

hope this has given you some ideas.

Hi JellyTart & welcome to the forum

If you go for a 3-way fridge (about £150 new, or less second hand off ebay), you won't be limited to sites with electric hook up, as you can run it off gas too.

Now, if you're going to run the fridge off electric, you will need to buy a proper EHU unit. So, you may as well get an electric fan heater for quick heat, and something quieter for overnight heat if you go early or late season - something like a skirting heater (Argos), a convector heater, or a small oil filled radiator.

Hi all

just quick question about the frdge/coolbox.  Anyone used the coleman 70 quart coolbox?  It seems alot cheaper than some of the others.  Tried towsure as mentioned above and the coleman is only £70.  we're tempted as stocking up for summer hols but seem to be spending alot of money and not sure wether to take a chance on cheaper brand! 

Any advice welcome 

hi all,

 i bought a fridge 20 litre  from argos last year which i'm still very happy with, its like a mini version as a normal one  with a shelf and a door compartment and a handle  on top to carry.. its has two leads one for in the car and the other with a three pin plug..it has a very quiet motor which is ideal in a tent and it can run all the time no need to switch it  off not  like some i was looking at. My friend whos a camper bought the same one and she likes hers....
