hello everyone! We have just purchased our 1st caravan! (Have a small motorhome at present) and as we don't tow it's being placed on a seasonal site!  

We were offered a starter kit which I thought was a bit expensive and would like to see if I can gather items at a lower cost!  But what I'm wanting to know is, what are the most important items that I need when we pitch it up? ie: gas bottle, aqua roll etc!

i would really appreciate your advice and any other helpful snippets of information so I can make a list! 

Many thanks

Welcome from me as well, jessiem!

As Trini has said, don't buy too much to begin with, as you may find you do not need half as much as you originally thought.

I hope you thoroughly enjoy the luxury of having your own WC facilities on board.

Hi there,I've just bought a elddis explore I'm 64 and never had a caravan or motorhome.

Either in cassette of toilet or the main body of a washing machine - as appropriate according to need.

Check out the second hand market (preloved) in the last few years i've sold wheel clamps, ground sheets, awnings, caravan steps the only thing I would strongly suggest you do not buy S/H is a hookup lead.

In the removable tank of the toilet, after emptying & rinsing clean, is the place for those liquid Bio Tabs, Screen Name ....C2 just before replacing it in the 'van.  They do a good job of treating the 'contents' without splashing hard to remove blue ( or green ) stuff all over your shoes etc undecided. They have proved so very popular that the makers of the Blue and Green fluids have themselves started making similar  soluble 'pods' but at a price  !!
