Newbie - what to take on a long trip

They do say you just need 2 things .... gaffer tape for stuff that moves but shouldn't and WD40 for stuff that doesn't move but should 

 ....(which I am told is law in this country anyway but does everyone carry enough?)

Since when? It is in French France, but not in Blighty.

Write your comments here...I may wear one tomorrow so SWMBO can keep tabs on me as I check out HMS Victory and Warrior for the umpteenth time. Then around what fleet that are docked.    

We watched Warrior being towed into Pompey from the Gosport ferry terminal more years ago than I care to Google  The sky got darker & darker so as soon as it was parked up, we walked back to our car, as soon as we sat down the heavens opened! And walked past Victory to FLJ every day  (swing that lamp )

Wisaacs bunree cc site is lovely , so is new england bay which is also cc : blair atholl is not cc site but is also a lovely site next to castle where piper plays on the hour : also the fishing village of crovie on moray firth is worth a visit but dont try and take your caravan down there (cars arent allowed in actual little fishing hamlet) and the deli in pitlochrey sells best carrot cake ever !!if you like books wigtown is is a booktown happy wanderings you lucky traveller cheers mrs bc :) ps if its midge time take brewers yeast tablets or a spoonfull of marmite apparently they dont like it :/

A pack of Zip-ties of various sizes. Avon "Oh So Soft" Original as midge repellant.

One of my caravan best-buys has been microfibre towels from Lakeland.  Not quite as nice to use as cotton towels, but they dry quickly and never smell, even if the weather isn't right for washing them frequently.  Super for wet weather as they just dry off in the bathroom, you don't need to hang them outside.

wouldn't go away with cotton towels ever again.  Have had them five years, still like new and we tour three months each year.

Can I ask why a couple of posters carry battery chargers?

very true, not needed that often but two great 'tools'....

Battery charger either in case your main charger fails, or if you stay on a site without EHU, but they offer battery charging facilities, having a charger means you can take advantage (if you are willing to take out your battery!). Also, a good battery charger is useful for occasionally fully charging the battery (with a voltage above 14.4V) which most onboard chargers don't.
