Essential items you will need for first time

Sorry Fysherman, we will not use wine boxes due to their fraudulent claims!  

I did buy one once, mainly because it clamed in the description that it would last 3 months, but it didnt. It didn't even last 1 week!

Did you get them for Trade Descriptions??? 

Sorry back to OP - don't go too complicated until you really know what you want - did someone mention the EHU orange cable?  Yes they had.  Spirit level isn't all that essential a glass of water works quite well too!   I always regret taking too much food - prefering to buy local - ..... but you never know when you might need a meal without venturing out. 

a notebook and pen, so you can list the things to bring next time!

Car

but don't forget a small spirit level for levelling.

In case you forget, or loose it. If you have a smart phone, make sure you have a spirit level app on it. Ours came with one already installed. Have found it useful on a couple of occasions.

Cheers for that, I just downloaded one onto my Tablet ..... just in case my bubble bursts Quite accurate as well

When you get on site and have reversed onto your pitch do not detach car until you have checked with spirit level for side to side leveling 

I have spirit level permanently fixed to my a-frame, so vital when sitting, agree with comment about checking laterally before detaching from car

a compass is also very useful, for checking where the sun is going to rise and for your sat dish, there's an app for that too

these are some of the eccentual items you would need for caravaning for the first time

please add to the list if you think ive missed anything out

aquaroll for fresh water

wastemaster for dirty water

240v electric hook up lead

jack and wheel brace

leveling ramp 

 

I actually tour widely with a caravan and only have one of those five items. 

A corkscrew it not as essential these days.  In the UK there are far more screw top bottles.  Failing that, dring prosecco, or champagne!!
