Just wondering what luxury non essentials others take camping?

Here's my insane list which will defiantly upset those who feel you MUST just take a non electric tent and sit around reading the famous five all day long

Trailer tent
Tv with freeview, Ariel on a12foot pole
Breadmaker machine for fresh bread daily and cheaply
Dulce gusto coffee machine for my evening latte's
Carpet for the awning
3 x 50w spot lights
3 foot florescent light for kitchen
Small fridge
Small freezer
Toaster
Small oil filled radiator
Clip on fan
Weber bbq
Small charcoal bbq with rotisserie for spitroast chicken
plus I'm sure there's more I've forgotten lol

I really do need to buy a bigger car now though

In my defence, I do have a 4 year old boy and 8.5 month pregnant wife

I'm hoping your comment about non-EHU users was tongue in cheek.

Rug/carpet - I like my feet warm. Not sure it's a luxury though, used to take picnic rugs for the floor way back when.

Books. None of which are Enid Blyton. A luxury (to me) because I don't get much time to read when I'm living my usual work routine.

My phone I guess. Which I dislike intensely but *meh* needs must. The camera is fantastic, plus it lets me contact folks if necessary.

Yep, totally tongue I cheek, I've nothing but admiration for all campers from 1 man tents to 40 foot long RV'S

I just love the outdoor lifestyle, even more so for not having a garden at home.

I'd never thought about taking the breadmaker but what a great idea. *Nips outside to see if there's room for one more box in the trailer.*

Luxuries, apart from my fantastic trailer tent?

Coffee & my Kindle.

Luxuries? What am I saying?

Coffee and the Kindle are essentials!

Here4 - I also lack the garden. By choice. Doesn't mean that I don't love the outdoors though. I just don't like gardening ...

Might sound funny to some...But I never go camping without my six legged bivvy bed four seasons sleeping bag and a pillow!! Beds a bit bulky...and the s/bag too...but if I have to leave something else to make room...So be it...A decent comfy nights sleep is one of my prerequisites for camping and I get that from the bed I take....
