Hi, am on my 3rd post today to try and complete my kit for the summer, so please bare with me.

Last year we went away for the first time in our Vango 600 and we only had a lantern from Argos, which, for me, didnt give us enough light. I have been looking at strip lighting, some come with 2 tubes that operate seperately or together, which seems like a good idea.  Am going to have EHU so would prefer to use that.

Has anyone got any advise??

Thanks!

We use 2 little halogen desk lamps plus a Coleman rechargable lantern for sitting outdoors in the summer.

go to somwhere like machine mart, fluourecent work lights, about a fiver, they can be dropped a few times as well, lots cheaper than the other flourecents, plus the bounce, not break!

get a couple, one each side of the tent, works for me and i only use the low wattage 12V versions at the mo

We use a 8 mtr rope light on the inside of our Awning , and it gives off a great light , and on an evening , if you fancy a bit of a party , you just turn it to another one of it's 8 settings  and off you go, and within minutes , people start to wonder in with bottles of drink, it's brill
