So far....

Another Nevada M tent, carpet & footprint (Boxing Day sale but was for this season so I'm counting it!), Outwell kitchen stand, 2 lanterns, lots of Delta pegs and a long peg puller, 2 new sleeping bags, additional UFO lights for bedrooms, GPS for geocaching, fleece picnic rug to use as a bedroom carpet, campingaz bluet and campingaz double burner (both boot sale bargains), a bigger roofbox and a towbar (just need the trailer now!)

I'd like to say that'll be it for the year but I'm off to the Ripley Castle tent show next week just for a look.....

Frightening question ...
Ummm:

Royal folding wardrobe/larder with hard top (replaces hanging larder, which wasn't great for awning poles)
Table top fridge (to replace ten year old ... finally gave up the ghost)
Alco anti snaking kit
Cadac De Luxe package
Lafuma chair carry/storage bags
2 x Sevylor inflatables (better models to replace no white water ones)

Not adding up the cost ... enough grey hair already!

Wish list: A pop up awning ... but don't think they've been invented yet!

Got of lightly this year, bought the Thetford made Porta-Potti from Lidl £39 to replace our ageing Thetford 235 unit.

Bought a Lafuma Calfornia table £45 from RiversWay in Preston, to replace our smaller Lafuma Louisiana table, which will now be relegated to inside tent duties.

And yesterday got one of the Cree Torch's from Lidl £5 to add to the toolbox kit.

That's it now for purchases for this year, untill 2012, when I am sure to be replacing somthing else in our kit list.

Pair of Easy Camp Cross chairs in the hope they will last more than one season.
Coleman mini folding table to take the cooker, replacing a very elegant but rickety home made one.

Still to buy a set of rock pegs, don't know why because we've never needed them in the last 30 years but you never know...

2 x Oztent King Goanna chairs - sooooo comfy

vestibule for tent (taking back tomorrow)

huge folding cooling device which folds up - for the essential beers

Rock pegs

Flat ice boards for cool box (they are brilliant)

Just worried about what I will buy when I take the vestibule back!

So far:-

Outwell camp kitchen

Awning for the Monty

Outwell double camp bed

Vango Zetes 300 (my son needed it for DofE)

4 metal camping bowls

Need:-

1 more chair

A new mallet, my son left it somewhere on the DofE camp he did

New light for kitchen area

To stop reading these sorts of threads...

Wishlist:-

An extra heater

Hard canopy top for the trailer (would solve all my troubles)

5m bell tent with all the gubbings (this is far off in La La Land or at least until my kids leave home and I can go by myself with just the dog, bliss)

Haven't put the prices on what I've bought in case hubby reads this section

I've just bought another carpet (in the colour I wanted last year but couldn't get) and a wasp trap.

Definite planned purchases are some airbeds to try under our Fat Airics in the hope we might not feel so achy each morning and OH has promised we'll finally get a trailer within the next month...Yippeeeee!!  That's IT then...we couldn't possibly need anything more...could we???

Picked up my 2 Regatta beds today & one is now up in the living room to try out tonight.
Also the table is a good buy too for half price.

I have also been looking at a new kitchen set up & quite like the Royal easy up one that has £10 off it plus i also got a £5 voucher today after buying my other items so all in all a good saving....just need to talk nicely to my OH now.

This thread is a bit scary!!! Well, we're new to camping and so far we have bought:

  • Vango Maritsa 500 Tent
  • Footprint
  • Carpet
  • Large plastic storage box
  • Pack of 3 tupperware containers
  • Kettle
  • Folding water carrier


We go on our first trip in three weeks, so will be adding to this list considerably over the next couple of weeks with airbed, sleeping bag, chairs, stove, coolbox, other kitchen bits and bobs, rugs etc. Oh dear
