Is this all i need to have electric in my tent?

I want to run a fridge and a portable tv.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Run a searh on EHU on here and see why this is not suitable.. This looks like a homemade job from ebay, please do not buy it.. 

You need something like this..

Yeah i read that earlier but spotted this on ebay so i thought i'd check it out first.I wont bother with ebay then

so can i use a normal portable tv with this?

Thanks

3 socket is what i want.

That's all the help i needed,thanks

Hi, further to that the camping and carravaning club site has some downloadable info. sheets on electrics and camping which are also accesible to non members.(and free!)

hook-ups must be waterproof and have a r.c.d. (residual current device) on them which trips the electric if you get a short circuit due to water or damage thus preventing electrocution. does'nt need to rain as you get condensation in a tent overnight as i'm sure you know.

I wish e-bay would stop people listing things like that as most sites won't allow hookups like the one in your picture. I am sure there will be many dissapointed campers this summer and I pray they are not injured by these truly dangerous items.
