There are probably obvious thing that i have forgotten about,so please let me know.
Good news is a lot can be brought from home like pans and torches. Other things can be bought at places like B&M Bargains (plates, stoves etc etc).
Don't skimp on the beds, that's my main bit of advice. A sleeping bag can be supplimented with a duvet - grab the one from your own bed or I keep a 4.5tog duvet with cover on just for camping.
The 'two box' principle is a good place to start, grab two sturdy lidded plastic boxes and use one as a kitchen box and the other for everything else.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
