You need a stand for your cooker and to keep all your pots and pans on.
We made an electric hook up lead with sockets on so we could take small fridge, electric kettle etc. and a light which had a clamp on to clamp onto one of the poles
Most sites have wifi but costs about 3.00 a night.
maybe a small heater cos it can be cold at night if you are camping in UK. Most peole take 2 windbreaks to make their pitch bigger and give privacy when eating etc. Also you may want a small toilet if the kids need to go to the loo in the night, there are several types available from just a bucket type with a toilet seat (about 20.00) to aproper chemical toilet, more expensive.
I hope you have a large vehicle to pack all this lot into. Make a list as you pack it all in then you can use it every time and add to it the things you forgot.
happy camping, J x

once you get a list of everything use excel to make a list with a spare section of boxes next to each item ,simply print it out and laminate it ,you can then tick of each item with a board marker as you pack it.
it sounds rather dweebish but i can assure you when you arrive on site having forgotten something (in our case it was usually 12v psu's for the fridge~) then having to fork out for something that's sitting at home tends to make it more sense.
ours is 3 horizontal rows ,first row (used once a year) is what gets packed in the trailer tent trailer.
second row is the main essentials cooker ,stand ,sleeping bags etc etc and the 3rd row is the personal stuff ,pills ,boots,alarm clock ,fleeces etc.
theres things on the list that are not needed for the TT but on there for when we use the other tents rather than have separate lists
half the problem is is when two people are packing ,with the list its known the other person has packed an item instead of the usual "did you pack.....?)
