Seems cheap to me

I managed to find one on ebuyer.co.uk for just £35 (including delivery!) after a tip-off on a post on here somewhere.

It's worth its weight in gold for keeping the kids entertained.

I can't see any on ebuyer now but would recommend the site.

We have a 10amp supply to our van and have had no problems with fuses blowing (touch wood). I was told that as long as appliances are under 1000watts they should be fine. We also only use one thing at a time, to be on the safe side, but as you're in a tent I'm assuming that most of your things (kettle etc) are used with gas stove or bbq.

I have returned the last 2 'in car' systems I bought from Argos (the ones with a player + screens you attach to the headrests - Goodmans and Wharfdale) - They were useless, couldn't get a film to work for more than 10 mins without it jumping and stalling every time we went over a bump (and this was on the motorway, not A roads). I've swapped to handhelds (Hitachi), they work perfectly, and with the battery pack as a special treat the children can take them to bed occasionally.

My cousin also had to replace his in car set-up, so it's not just me. I think that unless you want to splash out on a professionally installed in-car system the handhelds (if they've got 'anti shock') are much more reliable and useful.

cheers for that dogbert, ive just reserved a pair at my local argos!! I was going to buy the twin screen ones, but this is better cos they can watch different films!! they have half price carry bags too!
