Possibly a really stupid question so apologies in advance! Thinking about whether we need ehu or not and apart from lighting and cooling, the only other thing would be phone / tablet chargers. On reading more for our summer hols now other half has decided against France, I see a lot of UK sites have little shops and do icepack freezing and there are loads of threads on here about solar / battery lights so sorted there. But does anyone have any good chargers? I do have a freeloader one but don't find it very effective so wondering if technology has moved on? Thank you :)

Not really - small solar chargers are slow and inefficient.

Have you considered one of the little USB chargers that plug into the car's cigar socket? They work very well.

We use the tecknet external battery pack capacity 9000mAh from amazon approx £30 which someone recommended on here we used it to charge our smart phones last year very impressed, I think the larger capacity 13,000mAh plus would be ideal for tablets and phones
