Do you need a porch awning (+ awning pegs, something to hit them in with, pull them out with)?  If I can repeat what someone else said - don't forget to get the number plate for the back of the van. 

We picked up a new van in July on the way down to Cornwall.  We travelled from the Midlands to Dorchester, picked up the new van and went straight to Redruth for a fortnights holiday.  The preparation was amazing and we managed to get absolutely everything into the back of the Discovery.  We had it in mind to buy a new gas bottle at the caravan dealers, but they didn't have the sort we wanted.  However the site obliged.  Everything went very smoothly.

If you are only going for a few days, will you need to/be able to take foodstuffs.  Don't forget the bottle opener/ corkscrew.

Depending on the age of your new van you may also need an adaptor for the towing light cable. I'm doing the same tomorrow and the only other things i have on my list are toilet roll, toilet chemical, fairy liquid, toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste etc)  and towels and dishcloths
