First of all, welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of caravanning!

I would suggest you get:
* aqua roll (you alread have)
* waste water container (you already have)
* hook up lead (25m)
* towing mirrors
* leisure battery (this usually comes with the van)
* levelling ramps
* spirit level
* chemicals for the toilet
* gas cylinder with suitable regulator (would suggest you get propane rather than butane)

If you have all that you will be able to get away in your van and be comfortable.

Almost mandatory for me is outside table and chairs.  I only ever sit in the van except for early/late season outings. and so I have a plastic patio table for outside and an aluminium slatted table for in the awning.  Obviously overkill to have two tables (actually I have 3 - another smaller aluminium one in the awning), but as has been said above, you find out as you go along.  Most of this stuff is pretty light-weight.  Are you close to a limit on the weight??

Oh.....and the bbq is also a must!!

Would have thought that the pump and fittings would be supplied with the van.

judging by the op, you seem to already have the 'basic's''

one little piece of kit which is always kept in our 'van is a good long length of tv aerial coaxial cable. some of the sites we have used recently have poor or non-existant tv reception but they are combating this by adding tv aerial sockets onto the ehu (electric hook up)  bollards.

clumber park cc site in nottinghamshire is one such site .

but again this is down to personal choice, lots of  'vanners don't take a tv, we do as OH just has to have the soaps on where-ever we are
