This is the first time in over a year that we own a fully functional motorhome with no repairs needed. We are going to go somewhere for a few days at the weekend to celebrate, ahead of going to Malvern Hills on Wednesday to meet up with Alice the Camel

Rosehip Jun 2022 11:12am, 8 Jun 2022 25,528 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip I have just spent the last hour going through all my camping stuff to see what will be useful in the van working out what else we will ‘need’ The second list is getting quite long and could get expensive Also wishing I was away somewhere quiet and solo in the 🏕, wonder if I’ll do that again?

Angus Clydesdale Jun 2022 6:55pm, 8 Jun 2022 24,857 posts	Quote Pin Angus Clydesdale I agree with GM. We transferred from family tent (kitchen, gas double-hob stove, big gas bottle etc) to a caravan at the end of 2020. Initially we moved almost everything in, and then took it nearly all back out again. It's taken a few trips to get it more-or-less right. Trial and error has been part of the fun. I definitely wouldn't rush out to buy new stuff though; you can always pop into a Home Bargains/Wilko/Ikea/Argos as part of your trip.
