Alco anti snaking kit
Cadac De Luxe package
Lafuma chair carry/storage bags
2 x Sevylor inflatables (better models to replace no white water ones)
Not adding up the cost ... enough grey hair already!
Wish list: A pop up awning ... but don't think they've been invented yet!
Got of lightly this year, bought the Thetford made Porta-Potti from Lidl £39 to replace our ageing Thetford 235 unit.
Bought a Lafuma Calfornia table £45 from RiversWay in Preston, to replace our smaller Lafuma Louisiana table, which will now be relegated to inside tent duties.
And yesterday got one of the Cree Torch's from Lidl £5 to add to the toolbox kit.
That's it now for purchases for this year, untill 2012, when I am sure to be replacing somthing else in our kit list.
Pair of Easy Camp Cross chairs in the hope they will last more than one season.
Coleman mini folding table to take the cooker, replacing a very elegant but rickety home made one.
Still to buy a set of rock pegs, don't know why because we've never needed them in the last 30 years but you never know...
A new mallet, my son left it somewhere on the DofE camp he did
New light for kitchen area
To stop reading these sorts of threads...
Wishlist:-
An extra heater
Hard canopy top for the trailer (would solve all my troubles)
5m bell tent with all the gubbings (this is far off in La La Land or at least until my kids leave home and I can go by myself with just the dog, bliss)
Haven't put the prices on what I've bought in case hubby reads this section
I've just bought another carpet (in the colour I wanted last year but couldn't get) and a wasp trap.
Definite planned purchases are some airbeds to try under our Fat Airics in the hope we might not feel so achy each morning and OH has promised we'll finally get a trailer within the next month...Yippeeeee!! That's IT then...we couldn't possibly need anything more...could we???

Also the table is a good buy too for half price.
I have also been looking at a new kitchen set up & quite like the Royal easy up one that has £10 off it plus i also got a £5 voucher today after buying my other items so all in all a good saving....just need to talk nicely to my OH now.
This thread is a bit scary!!! Well, we're new to camping and so far we have bought:
Vango Maritsa 500 Tent

Carpet
Large plastic storage box
Pack of 3 tupperware containers
Kettle

We go on our first trip in three weeks, so will be adding to this list considerably over the next couple of weeks with airbed, sleeping bag, chairs, stove, coolbox, other kitchen bits and bobs, rugs etc. Oh dear
i have bought, a new porta potti with battery operated flush, an led light, a broken fridge for spares, a cafetiere, vacuum bags for packing, and a generator i suspect i will never use!
I have had bought for me 6 delta ground anchors and two of the plate/disc things from delta that you clip dogs to!
