Hello, so with a tear in my eye I said goodbye to my caravan yesterday but soon got over it as we pick up our new Motorhome on Friday!! 
Question is - what do I need that may not come with it?
I have things like jerry can, ehu cable, chairs etc etc...I'm thinking more of hoses or things I haven't considered that the M/H needs that the van does not

My wife has just knitted some "coats" for our china mugs ,so they don't rattle when traveling
Write your comments here...we found so long as you put rubber mat in the cupboard then turn the mugs open end down and keep them apart they are fine and do not rattle.

Is it this?
Yes that is it, but don't waste your money at Caravan dealers, buy it cheaper online or places like Wilko or B&M. Easy to cut to shape.
I love the knitted mug cover idea HD! We were lucky with our Autosleeper, it came with a dedicated china cupboard and a lovely dining set that fits in neatly. Think it is one of those "AS" extras!
One of the other things that is very different between MH and caravan is the door. Full door on MH, so we are lucky our dogs are well behaved and don't run off. Not sure if you have a dog, but if you do, you might need some sort of gate/board to keep the blighters in when door is open!

Have looked at the silver screens and not sure what the purpose of them is? is it to keep the van more insulated and for privacy? or is it for much more technical reasons?

Write your comments here...when I posed the same question on the motorhomefun forum it was 80% in favour of silver screens and so far I am happy with the choice. They fit well, easy to fit and the drop down bit at the front is great for daytime use.
