It would have to be the motor mover (simply wouldn't have even be able to push the van on one pitch in France. It was sand behind a tree!! Saved the holiday)

Ours best buy is this George Foreman Bbq, it's electric so runs off your EHU & doesn't need gas bottles, wont blow out, wont cover you in smoke & we can use it in the awning when it's cold or wet, it drains all the fat off & you can either keep it on its stand or put it on a table top but either way it's a convenient height so you don't have to bend down.

We've bought one for home too & often sit in the conservatory cooking on it.

Motor Mover has to be number 1. Lets me go solo no way could a wee wumman push a 7mtr van onto a pitch by herself.

Followed by all my electric cooking stuff to use on the EHU
Electric Frying pan, Halogen Hob, Halogen Oven, George Forman grill, Slow cooker etc Etc

I'd second this, we took our george foreman from the house, the one with a flat area you can cook eggs on. our first ever trip away in the caravan was very wet all week, but with the george foreman i could still do bbq food in the awning just opened the window for the steam/smell to exit, it was much better than using a cooker

Maddockcamper, you hit the nail on the head. I have just bought my first van and it's the best thing I have ever done.
