I bought my first van this year

I was very grateful that it came with a leisure battery and electric hook up lead but had to buy gas bottles waste and water hogs

I only bought a 1993 clubman and it cost £1600 so I was in my opinion lucky to get a few extras

I would keep your waste and water hog and other bits to be honest or if its a first time buyer offer them the option and bung some more money on it

I for one would keep my waste and water hog

We let ours go with the battery, step, Kampa 390 awning, hitch lock & wheel lock. 

We were like you - didn't want to let everything go then have to buy it all again.  The van we bought came with everything as they were giving up caravanning so we ended up with 2 of a lot of things.  We've passed the water carriers, levellers, noseweight guage & TV aerial on to the people who bought ours & we're selling the 2 awnings that came with it to put towards a new Bradcot (sold ours seperate from van as it was brand new).

Thanks for the advice :) think it will just go with the battery, if they want the mover then it will be extra as it's only 3 months old.
Cheers, just got to sell it now!!

If you have a full awning, Murano, it might be worth considering selling that as part of the package.  Personally, when we have sold vans, the new van always ends up being a slightly different size and we are left with an awning.  We've always bought a new awning to fit the van and as the new van has been our prime consideration, the old awning gets pushed to the back of the store room.

Ah yes David we have a full atlantic aventura awning with this, it's never been used I dont think, we will never use it, far to big and heavy, so that can go with it, after all it came with the van.And we tend to use our porch awning which fits all.
So battery will stay, Dad can take the mover off ( he fitted it ) unless they want to pay extra for it.
I will keep all my aquaroll ect ect, and step, then if we find a van with stuff then perhaps sell what we don't need.
Unlikely we will buy from a dealers, we have only ever bought private .we've just never got much with the vans we bought, and I don't want to have to start all over again this time , as over time we've bought some nice quality items.
Right finish the advert and up it will go, fingers crossed it sells soon, and the David I will get you on the searching case lol

Ooo! I do like looking at vans.  Problem is that I will soon be looking 'in the field' - i.e. away on holiday.  May be away for 5 weeks, so I may be going off here for a while - don't know how practical it's going to be for me to get on-line during hols.  We'll see.  I'll try and keep a lookout though.
