Mover has to be my No.1 not to bothered on site, if there is enough room I do like to keep my hand in at reversing, but getting up the drive at home would be a pain without it, pushing a 5 berth caravan up a slope is not easy

No.2 that nice gadget that fits on the end of my portable drill that winds down the steadies, my rear ones are quite a way under the van and using the drill and attachment is so much easier

No. 3 Duvalay sleepiing bags with built in memory foam mattress, bulky to store but we have plenty of room, we make the front lounge into a double bed roll out 2    Duvalays, perfect for the 2 of us and poochlaughing , we have a lounge at rear of caravan that we use if weather not great etc.

p.s. worst it probably those screw in rock pegs, could never get them to work satisfactorilyundecided

Wing mirror protectors would be the first on the list, closely followed by my cup holder. It’s a strip of black rubber with a cup holder built in. Made to fit over the arm of a chair but it’s ideal for fitting securely over the back cushion of our side settee as we only have a work surface on the other one.

You can buy on Amazon for £20 surprised but I got mine ages ago from Coopers of Storford and it was a lot cheaper.

yes absolutely the motor mover above all, then the adaptor for a service pitch.

I suppose it's often overlooked but the aquaroll and wastemaster are fantastic accessories with a superb design. To start our caravaning life we hired a caravan and it came with huge plastic containers that had to be carried, do that a few times and you'll see how good the aquaroll is.

My caravan came with an unused hose to plug the water directly to the caravan (I assume that's what your adaptor is) 3 years on, it's still unused ... infact I'm not too sure where it is 🤔

If we are on  unused accessories, my last van came with what might have been a shower attachment for use outside I think. Why anyone would want one I dont know.wink

I've got one of those too .... maybe for showering the dog outside 🤷‍♂️ It seems to too much faffing about for me

On our caravans it has to be the motor mover, followed by the small electric drill I bought in Aldi for £24 to wind the steadies. That was after years of doing it manually, saying I didn’t need one.

For the MH it has to be the solar panels I had fitted. I don’t know how we would have managed during these lockdowns without them, as the van is in storage and having a working tracker / alarm  is an insurance requirement. Also the refillable gas, no worries about usage when we took the van to France.
