BATTERY PACK FOR POWERING MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES IN A TENT
A tent having an electrical system. A single battery pack may be used to provide power for lights or other powered components. As examples of lights that may be used, an overhead light may be provided for a central room and a smaller light may be provided for a sleeping room of the tent. In addition, a tent finder, such as a small LED lamp, may be provided that may be attached to the outside of the tent and which may be used for finding the tent in the dark. The light system may utilize a number of extension cords for routing power to the various powered components. The modular tent system may include a variety of attachments or wire holders for routing the extension cords and other wires of the powered system through the modular tent system.
