Actually shopping is one of my hobbies as well but for me it's clothes and posh food  

Hi Frankie, just looked at your profile, and I have the exact same table as you. Its a solid piece, I was gonna trade it in for one of those trendy slatted roll-up things that seem to be the rage at the mo, but sha'nt now. (I will save the money and spend it on my holiday on something fun)

Hi I am new here but I felt I needed to chip in, I have made two new purchases this year to add to my ever growing camping mountain of gear which includes a kitchen stand, two burner and grill campingaz chef, double height queen size airbed, roll up slatted table, wardrobe/shelves (collapsable and easy to put up), electric hook up, fridge, gas heater, king size super dooper sleeping bag and the list goes on and on.

These two new essentials are:

1. Mobil loo from Lidl, £29.99 incl starter pack of chemicals.  Best purchase to date, I get up at least twice in the night for the loo and more if I have had a beer and the loo has made my camping experience less stressful shall we say.

2. 5 in 1 inflatable wonderbed/sofa.  I purchased it based on the threads I read on here and ordered it from www.alt-gifts.co.uk.  It is the best, we WERE carrying in the car four bulky collapsible chairs which on occasions have been on peoples laps, this is a three seater inflatable sofa that easily rolls back into its bag and will take up hardly any room in the trailer.  It is offer of the month this month (£20 off) at £39.99.  If you put in the offer code at the checkout 'inflatablesofabeds' you can get another 10% off. 

Not sure if any of these will be of interest or whether you have any room but whatever happens you will have a wicked time for years to come.

Also some of the smaller on site facilities can govern what you take.    Last week I was going for a couple of days, and just took a cool box and ice packs, knowing that I could refeeze on site.

Delta Pegs, Cooker stand,Electric hook up thingy, electric light, heater, footprint ground sheet and this weekend Electric cool box, pump, lamp, and a roof box to put them all in.

I've been thinking we really need a windbreaker what do you think?????

.................. as we do really need all these things....... don't we?

No, you don't NEED them. Of all the things you've listed here I have only the ground sheet, pump and lamp - and I love my camping.  While everyone else is spending time unpacking, sorting and setting up I'm already on the beach.  Then I enjoy the whole of my last day while the clutter bunch are spending a couple of hours packing up.  Finally, when I get home I've sorted and put away the kit in half an hour.  I think many folk on this site have two hobbies really, camping & shopping.

Actually shopping is one of my hobbies as well but for me it's clothes and posh food
