Bundle excess cord with either zip ties or wire twist ties. You can tie cords to tent poles, even tuck under the bottom tray of your tent if it has a removable one. I have everything running to a surge protector in my tent, but I don't run nearly as much stuff in my tent as a lot of you guys. Just my lights, exhaust, air pump for my reservoir and a spare fan to help move air around. If you're running lots of other equipment like heaters, ac and humidifiers then you probably don't want it all on the same circuit.
