Outdoor Cooking.

Agree with the advice re toilet rolls and bio-tabs. Also with the advice given about not rushing into buying anything. Far better to do without something on a few trips, and so identify a need, rather than to end up with stuff which is never used.

Take your time. You may find that you change the way you motorhome. After being used to caravanning, and therefore dependent on sites,  our way of motorhoming changed, and with it the kind of equipment we use. We do have a whole array of stuff we now hardly ever use, and also things on which we rely.

We spend most of our time travelling in Europe and so we sometimes use (not exclusively) stellplatz / aires / sostas. This mostly means camping off grid and so we rely on gas. In Winter we spend our time on sites in Spain where often electricity is metered. It therefore makes more sense to rely on gas. As such we have a re-fillable gas system and solar panels. We take a Cadac, as mentioned above. Having these also means that we make use of non EHU pitches in the UK with the other club.

When on an unmetered electric supply, we make full use of a Remoska, a small George Forman grill and an induction hob. All of these can be used outside the van as well as our gas Cadac.

How, and where, you camp may well determine what you will need.

We bought a Motorhome just over a year ago and rushed out and bought a few things. This season we are in the process of selling most of what we bought!

Not sure whether the Hobby has a "garage" or not but for many of us, the size and weight of accessories is critical. A Cadac suits many people because it is light and compact but it is not a BBQ it's more like a grill. We go mainly abroad so use a Weber BBQ. Much as I would love to take my Weber BabyQ it was too big and heavy so I bought a lightweight Weber with gas canister.

I would advise not buying anything until you have done one or two trips and got a feel for what you want. Look around and see what others do.

Thank you everyone for your replies, have picked up our Hobby now  (massive Garage ) and it  is sitting nicely on the drive, lots of really good helpful advice from you all, another question please -

Recommendations/advice for which TV would be good, think it will have to be a 16" - Doing a bit of research on line I see the makes of Cello and Avtex with built-in DVD Player - there is an obvious difference in the price of them, Avtex being the greater.
