Aaaahhh, so that is 'Pink stuff'!  I'd wondered what this magical stuff could be.  Sounds a bit lethal mind,  maybe Pink as in Lily- the-Pink's medicinal compound????

Levelling blocks are important for putting under the wheels or you could be rolling out of bed a lot.

I treated my caravan to every concievable gadget but 3 years on most of the stuff is left at home as I realised hardly any of it was being used.

Don't waste your money on the over-priced caravan electrical equipment (TV, kettle, etc.)  Just buy regular stuff but lower wattage is best on things like a microwave.

My suggestion would be to go away with the basics and see what you really miss.

Thanks everyone for your inspiring suggestions, I have bought all of the basics, lots of bargains and today we have collected the van and it is sitting outside on the drive.
We are off to Outer Hebrides on friday (ambitious I know!) and cant wait to pack everything up and get on the road!

Forget everything else – just get your caravan and then spend a week holidaying lending items of fellow campers.

See you all next week outside Clarkson’s house!

hi, we are still new to this but.... when we take the teenagers away i always take my george forman grill, cooks quick and less washing up ( remember tho' not to use other electric stuff at the same time i blew the electric! i learnt quick! ) As with any thing new we learn the hard way! i also would recommend wind breakers cos' it gives extra privacy when reading and sunbathing. oh and find a site near your home like we have ( 15 miles away ) just to get away for a short weekend Also as a lot of others have stated the good old booze! Enjoy your caravan.

And it was difficult enough making sure I didn't hit any parked cars or kerbs along the regular local roads. Ambitious? Mad!
