Am wondering what is the least equipment i cna get away with for this year .Knowing i will end up buying more over the winter as my bank manger allows me to .

There are 5 of us myself and 4 children 2 being teens and i use a wheelchair hence need EHU

and shall apologise for all my questions  all over the board.

Tent obviously am hopin a Cabaon Elody.

Decent sleeping bags.( last time good few years ago brought cheap and we was cold so put us of )

Eletric hook up.

Heater.

Airbeds.

and one of these for cooking on http://www.caseysoutdoorleisure.co.uk/tristar-griddle-347-p.asp

Kettle am thinking tescos/argos basic range or will i need a camping one

Fridge am wondering if cna get away with just using my sons mini plug in fridge for a short camp this year just for milk /cheese

Lights what do people use?

it will be 3 or 4 days   this year just so we can get a couple trips under our belts    Thank you

So yes a cool box would work

.Though by next year be looking at week or so but by then am hoping to have brought a proper camping fridge 

Hiyas have you thought of using quilts from home 1st ...save on the expence of sleeping bags...we bought sleeping bags & didn't like them , so now take our quilts & vac pack them.. Also you can use all cooking stuff from home ...pans pots etc. We use a basic tesco kettle & toaster these do a great job. Sure lots more ideas will appear.

Madz.

get the tesco or asda basics range of Toaster, Kettle, and heater at most £6 each. use ufo lights in tent very bright and last a long time even though use batteries. Asda have sale on at the moment of camping gear so tables, folding chairs etc all at really good prices.

Good luck with your shopping and have a great time camping.

Thank you .

will try get to Asda have a look one advantage I don`tneed chair for myself always have mine (wheelchair that is).But

Thank you
