You couldn't ask for a better starter list than the one above, it gives you all the basics & you can add to it to suit yourself. the only thing I'd add to it is to make the jack a Trolley jack, carry several piees of wood 3x2 down about 10" long & a short spirit level, you'll find it invaluable for levelling the van side to side & you won't get a bottle jack under the axle if you have a flat.

Enjoy your caravan

We always take a trolley jack aswell. It's a nightmare trying to change the caravan wheel using a bottle jack.

definitely agree with the wine and corkscrew!

If your new to towing the camping and caravanning club do great courses! we both did the manoevering course snd found it very useful even though I don't tow, I can help my other half with hitching on etc while she does the reversing! team work seems to work for us!

Happy camping!!
