Great informative thread guys.
Is this type of hook up cable acceptable http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/13Mtr-Camping-Ten ... 084wt_1139 ???

[Rob-merlin1973]

Yup that will do the job

cheers for that, for that price i may as get it. I was going to just put a 16amp plug onto a 35 metre cable reel i have with thermal cut out but thought its "not the done thing" lol but like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Electric-25m-HOOK ... 2485wt_905

[Rob-merlin1973]

That will also do

I have to admit that i have used a home made cable for the last 2 years but this year i am making a socket board with RCD and ......... dimmer for 2 pre wired lights....

Now before anyone takes the urine at having tent lights on dimmers the reason is that on dark evenings when the weather is bad you want the lights up bright to read but when the little ones go to bed we can dim the lights down
Forgot to mention they are also remote control so we can turn them on and off from in bed .... us glampers ...never

[pitkin2020]

LOL that sounds like a brilliant idea, the dimmer and remote.

Love it, remote control lights in a tent. That's so far beyond glamping there aren't words for it ;o)

Just read all this what a Great Thread!!!!

After yrs of camping this our first yr where we have paid for the elec option so now just have to buy the kit. I WAS going to buy one of these

so im glad ive seen this thread.

As ive said this is our first yr with elec so i cant go daft on buying all the top quality stuff in one go, as ive read and seen on this thread earlier would this be the cheapest option i could get away safetly with?

Ooh yea am keen to know which is best too...

[Rob-merlin1973]

The second one is best becouse it has the inline RCD for protection

It was the PS3 that pushed it over the edge

What about a projector ?? we have thought about it, use a pc projector to project films onto a tent, only thing is, we don't have anybody with a white tent.. so that idea was put on hold, as for plasma, hmmmm, ideas.
