Best buy the caravan, the memory foam double mattress topper from poundstretcher at about £30, the throws from Wilkinsons to keep the seats clean £6 a pair, folding camping chairs with foot rests from JTF that have had 10 years use.

Best buy of all my set of camping saucepans from yeomans which still look like new after 25 years use.

Worst buy lightweight porch awning which has only been out of the bag when we tried it to see if it fit, sat nav system on offer from a UKCS promotion it is a pain to set up and 6 months later they were half the price.

Worst buy of all brand new jockey wheel from towsure which snapped after 2 uses so we are back on the old scruffy one.

worst buy -rotary airer-used once aluminium bent dumped it after that

best but 2 relaxing chairs we bought over 15 years ago and still going strong got htem from a place near tamworth but its closed now

Best buy:-

Elddis Crusader, electric pan £18 from B&M bargains, Satellite dish, Kindle FIre, Memory foam topper £30, Kia Sorento (love it)cheap ferry crossing in summer x 2 to Dunkrik courtesy of the brill Val and ukcs! cheap camping cheques off ukcs (sorry everyone I beat you to them Brand new Dorema awning 1075 for £300 courtesy of Ebay. Bottle of red wine for first night onsite.

Worse buy:- Plastic egg boxes (yellow ones) eggs broken when arrived on site, these make me laugh when I see them in the caravan shops and they have to be the top worse buy!! Bailey Unicorn Barcelona, was in the dealers more time than caravan sites, the bathroom was pants! Twin tub washing machine for caravan, its cheaper and easier to take your laundry to the launderettes on site, I hadnt thought about filling it with water and emptying it, took me 1/2 a day to wash a handful of clothes!!

 Best and worst purchase is my Stealth caravan. It would be exceptional if it had been constructed properly !.
