Best is my inflatable sofas and my Kampa hot plate brilliant for cooking breakfast on and worst will have to be my intex queen airbed which leaks so now we use sims and campbeds
Well dont laugh but one of my favourite things is!!!!! my collapsible cullender bought for less than £2 from B&M,s. Everytime I use it it makes me chuckle
Next is my home made electric lights which I did myself, maybe thats why I like them.
My aerobed active for sure! as we have tried everything from gelert sims to camp beds, nothing can beat the Aerobed for us in sleeping dept.
Oops got to mention the Kampa Khazi now that is one thing I would not be with out!
I keep thinking of more! Love my Outwell Aruba Kitchen Unit
Now my pointless / useless camping equipment, grill on my cooker totally usless! cheap plastic inflatable beds
Im struggling to think of anymore will get back to you on that one!
------------- 2015
Krakow Poland-none camping March 7 3 NIGHTS
KingsLynn camping at Premier Inn 4 nights at Easter
May 1 3 nights Fishground campsite Eskdale
and Finally...
Camping-Les-Domes-De-Miage / St Gervais Le Bains French Alps CAMPING!!! July 11 2 weeks.
My pointless or useless kit has gradually been upgraded over the years. Best investment was the Aerobed - after one holiday with cheap airbeds which meant being woken up every time my husband turned over and left me feeling seasick, it's worth every penny! Also sent to the charity shop was the double sleeping bag (has anyone ever used one successfully?!) replaced with a lovely warm double duvet. Thumbs up for the Commander chairs which meant the cheap supermarket chairs got given to the children.
Also highly recommended is the EHU which means heating, electric kettle, toaster and coffee maker. It felt like cheating at the start but it was pointed out to me that camping doesn't have to be an endurance test.
Can't wait to dust all this kit off and get camping next month!
My best would be a bag my dad gave me for Christmas that looks like an average spongebag but fits our micro towels, first aid stuff, washing stuff, toothbrushes etc. it's like the Tardis!
Worst would be.....I know lots of people will disagree but for me it's vacuum bags. I bought different types but they never lasted long. I tried some that you roll up to get the air out of as I don't use ehu but they just take sooo long to pack, roll up, seal up etc that I gave up. Now I have big storage bas that I sit on to squash!
We love the EHU which makes life camping so much better. Plus our small Outwell electric heater (Ollie to us). We also have a small electric griddle which we bought from Riversway for £16.99, we use it for breakfast and evening meal if it is too bad to BBQ. And finally, our best bargain is a 99p shower mat from B&M Bargains great to stand on in the showers.
Worst kit is a completely useless fold flat water carrier.

BEST:
My Arkansas 5 tent - and the front Awning which makes a brilliant tent even bigger and better.
WORST:
Camping Gaz cooker - never got on with it. I decided to buy it because my Tilley foldaway cooker was cleaned with some persil power spray and it fetched all the paint off. Though Camping Gaz although quite expensive would be better - no it wasn't the grill would blow out at the slightest bit of breeze, and the wire frame that you put you kettle on kept glowing orange everytime a pan or kettle was out on to boil/cook. Ended up being left by the bins at the campsite.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
