Wow I'm coming camping with you
In all honesty the only think I'd bin is the wardrobe, I don't have the patience to faff around with things like that - give me a holdall and a couple of plastic stacking boxes and I'm happy! (buying a stack of boxes that pack in together is a good idea and stacking them all together empty for travelling is a good tip I picked up from here - we jam our kitchen stuff in one box for travelling and then spread it out when we ge where we're going - you can do the same with clothes etc.).
We love our Sunncamp daytent and find it really useful to shelter from rain, wind and sun.
I'm jealous of the Pett toilet, I've bought some Wagg bags and a bucket with Lid as we don't have the cash or the space in the car! I might well upgrade next year.
Presumably you've got other kitchen stuff? Tin openers, bottle openers (v. v. important!), pans, stirrers, grater etc. etc? We have a waffel iron that goes on the Coleman dual fuel cooker so we can make waffles, also a crepe pan for pancakes (at least the kids can flip them without you having to worry about your walls & ceiling) , stuff like that is really nice when you're camping.
You haven't got lamps on your list? Head torches and glow sticks are nice for kids I think. Also kitchen stand or something to put your cooker on unless it has a stand and another table to prepare food on?
At risk of boring everyone rigid, I've posted my "weekend" list below - bear in mind this is often for group camping where we end up being "mummy and daddy" to the five thousand and that we don't use EHU!! By way of explanation the vast number of washing up bowls are a cheap set bought in france that we use for washing up (usually no facilities) and other storage as they all nest in together! I've also not put the tents in although in true compulsive obsessive they appear on the original list!!
Have fun and enjoy your camping, when is your first trip?
