In all seriousness, DK, I am.... grateful, that is!
I wouldn't last 5 mins without her..... and I don't just mean camping!!
That made me go all soppy with my morning coffee :) what a beautiful thing to say.
I would deffo go with the heater - camping is somethng to enjoy, not endure :)

Don't give up and give her time to come round to the idea, like when the bones and muscles start to complain for longer after setting up and striking camp etc...

Need to get this sorted, and I have read all that this tiny brain can cope with, so still being almost clueless when it comes to most things electrical, I need help!!
Although I said it's only for a heater, it would be daft to get just one socket, so first off, I'm looking at the triple sockets. (Let me hear you say "YEAH"!!!! )
Now, This one (A) seems fine, and a good price, but it doesn't state amps for the MCB or RCD, so how can I be sure it's actually suitable?
This one (B), however, does give the amps, but from what I can pick up, there's a major flaw in the design, in that the sockets are lined up in a column, and it is nigh on impossible to get a plug in all sockets at the same time!
So that leaves, I think, This one (C).
A trusted supplier, but again, no mention of the amps.
Now I'm the first to admit that I don't know my amps from my elbow, so it's a lot easier to put the onus on you good folk!
It's quite simple really.....
Which one? (Or a direct link to any other you recommend!)
A packet of Werthers (Original) to the poster of the "winning suggestion".*
*Denotes:
In the event of a number of posters suggesting the same item ultimately chosen, all posters are to be rewarded with a full packet each.
All/any winning posters are to collect their prize in person, on any camp site within the UK, by approaching "me" and stating "I know this is a long shot, but I don't suppose you are Mucker off UKCS, by any chance? It's just that I have a craving for a Werthers (Original) and am trying to claim my prize..... but I haven't got a clue what.... Oops, sorry madam... good day to you!"
Only one claim (failed or successful) per winning applicant.
Successful claimants are to be rewarded with one x 50g tube of Werthers original traditional candies.
No cash equivalent will be offered.
Prize not transferable.
All claims to be made by 2359hrs 31/12/2015.
When claiming their prize, all claimants must be wearing Crocs or mock crocs, but no socks**
**Female owners of any Outwell tent making a claim may wear heels and a smock or frock in place of Crocs or mock crocs.
There were a few reports about item "B" getting hot which it shouldnt do and someone suggested it contains cheap components
Weve had a Sunncamp one for more years than I care to remember now which has the sockets lined up as in B never had any problems getting normal plugs in or out. We use a trailing extension lead from it anyway as its never in the right place for everybody
------------- Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
We have a sunncamp one that comes in a bag. I think we got it after only our 1st trip in the new tent. Not because we were wusses you understand.
No, I couldn't stand the whining from the kids about the phone/iPad/random electrical item being flat and them taking an age to charge in the car. Plus the iPad gave me a flat car battery!
We have gas lights & heater so are capable of going off-grid as it were but EHU is def nice to have. Even if it is just so I can post pics of my DH in unflattering poses on Facebook.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
