Thanks everybody. All good points, well made. I will leave the camping stuff for camping

Hi everyone, Relative newbie here (1 previous broads holiday and 1 narrowboat holiday) so please forgive the potentially stupid question... We're hiring Brinks Melody next week and it has a generator - which I gather means we have to start the engine to make a cuppa. I'm going to bring a small gas camping stove to alleviate this a little, but I also wondered about Shore Power? I have a 25m camping hookup cable - is it the same connection as shore power? And (assuming I was able to get close to a shore power hookup) will this mean I wouldn't need to start the engine engine to cook, etc? Thanks all, Mike
