Hi everyone,
We are in the lucky position of havung £100 voucher to spend at camping world following the purchase of a new tent. Problem is I can't think of anything else we need! Any great bits of luxury kit anyone could recommend? Perhaps something you were not sure would be useful but turned out to be great?

I'll spend it for you!!

How about upgrading some of your kit such as your sleeping bags or beds?
Fridge?
Lighting?
Tent awning/canopy?
Some comfortable chairs?

You will be spoilt for choice!!

We bought the whole package including the awning conversion kit. Pickek up some really comfy chairs last season, and typically upgraded our lights last month. Was thinking about camp beds instead of our areobed but dont think we will have room for these and the tent

Have you got EHU? If not maybe a lead, if yes maybe something to run off it? A decent camping heater was our best buy having used a hairdryer one cold week-end to try and keep warm

Have a nice halogen heater which was in the bargin bin in Aldi a couple of months ago. As I think about what we have, not sure I am going to fit it all in the car! Shame camping world do not sell trailers. I did think about replacing the kitchen unit as it is mocca to match the glendale, but that would be a bit of a waste.

That's a good idea Voucher is valid for 1 year so do have time. I did look at the cadac stoves which look good, but have a camping gaz stove and a cobb for bbqs. Anyone know if a cadac is worth it?

Wife would love a loo, but as I would be the one emptying it then no as Iam not the one who needs to get up Iin the middle of the night. Don't think I would fit it in the car either, but nice idea! I do have a tarp and king poles at the back if the garage, never really used them as opted for the side extension on the glendale. Will dig them out, thanks for reminding me mucker,

Have a few delta pegs and they are great, so good idea, def worth getting a few more! Might get some more camping trousers too. Although must remember this time to leave the leg sections outside when wearing as shorts. I took two pairs to France last year and can now only wear them as shorts due to them fading in the sun. Unless two tone trousers come into fashion

We have a powered coolbox from Aldi, think they are great. If anyone is after a powered cool box they are in at the moment and would recommend one.
