Ooh I like quizzes, I reckon ET uses a bucket for waste water and an EHU lead is the one item he takes.

I'll go for the " jack and wheel brace" 

Well, I'm in the middle of kitting out my first caravan (don't pick the van up until the 10th september)

Here's what I've figured out so far...

Spare break-away cable.

Battery (115Ah, I've got a motor mover)

Kettle

Toaster

Gorge Foreman grill

Microwave (I've living in luxery)

No need for TV have tuner for my laptop (might get TV later)

25 Meter EHU Cable.

Aqua-roll (40L) and WasteMaster

Lock 'N level (instead of ramp)

Hitch lock and wheel lock.

spirit level

Carafoot feet for corners.

CaraStack - blocks to allow steadies to work better when wheel is raised by leveller.

Toilet chemials (blue and pink)

Toilet Roll

Dust pan and brush

Tea towel

Plastic dining set and Cutlery

Sharp knives

Scissors

Washing up liquid

Bottle opener and cork screw.

Bedding.

 

Of course is this not forgetting

Food, drink and clothing.

We are still "spirit of adventure" tourers, and like to travel light! That's with both MH and Caravan!

An esential for me is a small toolbox.

a step - unless you have long legs !

Get a toolbox that doubles as a step. 

I like the idea from a space saving point of view.  However, earlier in the year, I rented a motor home for a week.  As part of that rental they suppllied an metal double step to get in and out of the van.  The week went past fine, but when I came home and was unloading the van (lots of trips in and out) one of the times the step sprung out from under me.  As a result, I'll be looking to get myself the widest plastic double step possible so as to minimise the risk of falling.  I do remember it being painful landing on the pavent outside my house.  Luckily my ankle only for a minor sprain, could have been alot worse.
