Ten essentials for your motorhome

[Okta]

There is, or at least used to be a warehouse at the Gloucester Docks retail outlet called "Essentials". It had a HUGE sign outside its HUGE warehouse so we went in to have a look. Amongst the ESSENTIAL things it was selling was a 10" AF spanner, about 10ft long. It was labelled as a Tank track changing spanner. I somehow managed to continue my life without buying it.

Isn’t it annoying that you have to carry both large Metric and large AF spanners because US and European tank tracks are different.

In no particular order my top ten.
1, Multimeter
2, Portable lithium jump start pack
3, Antibac spray
4, Zoflora spray for loo
5, 300 rolls of loo paper
6, A selection of basic tools with some screws nuts n bolts, and electrical bits n bobs.
7, Books
8, Spare Chargers
9, Tablets loaded with stuff to watch and play
10, Spare phone just in case one dies.

Is that in a separate (and essential!) "loo paper" trailer, Kev?

When Liz goes away for a week, I don't need to replace the loo roll even if there is only half left, she does three in one week easily.

She's either hungry, or you should bin the figs and prunes.

Stop telling her ghost stories.

I am sure it could be used as insulation somehow while being stored?

We forgot charging cables once but we had a couple of spare ones left in the motorhome. We now have a full set of cables and chargers permanently onboard. I would add phones to items I would turn round for and not worry about bank cards, phone payments are easier.

Likewise with charging cables , they are so cheap so it makes sense. Guess who forgot his phone!!

Andriod ph is not secure, no way would i ever pay or put banking details on one.

You forgot the baby. Assuming you were taking the grandkid.
Once years ago we hitched up the caravan and set off on our holiday. About 15 miles up the road, wifey looked in the back to check the carry cot and it wasn't there. We thought we had better return home and take the baby with us on our holiday.

Hell no. First thing we did was change the dining table and remove the ability to make the van a 4 berth.
