Oh Nooooooooo ive gone and done it!
After much thought on layouts,makes,personal wants and advice on here we have purchased our first caravan!
We have a ABBEY AVENTURA 320 2005 ,4 Berth coming Thursday.
We need to buy everything for the caravan as it came with nothing except a good price tag:-)
If anyone can offer any advice on anything regarding starting up i would be very thankfull.
Also if anyone is very bored,lol i could do with a list of every essential i need.
I have already spotted what i think is a bargain! A 75AH numax Leisure battery for £39! Would this be okay for ehu sites(Because thats all we will be using).
Many thanks all
From a very nervous newbie caravaner!
Neil

Here's mine in no particular order & probably not all essential or exhaustive:
Hitchlock
Wheel clamp
Noseweight Gauge (milenco is BS approved)
Aqua roll or water hog
Waste master or waste hog
Step if it isn't included
Driving Mirrors
Socket doo dah for lowering & retracting steadies + cordless drill to make life easier
Torque wrench
Waster water hosing & t-splitter if you have two waste outlets
EHU with RCD
EHU adaptor if you want to use electricity from house
Chocks/Levellers
Spirit Level
Gas bottle
Fire extinguisher
We also cleaned out the water system before using it for drinking.
Then you have things like insurance, breakdown assistance to include your caravan
Awning, groundsheet, tables chairs, crockery etc etc

nearly sent you the full costs as well but thought it may depress you. As Mr RC says in his signature.....an expensive way to have a cheap holiday...anyway, you get more benefit spending it than saving it nowadays!!!! Enjoy the shopping
