I am wondering about the last 3 items on it
1. Continental To Euro adapter for hook up lead (2 pin to 3 pin).
2. Reverse polarity plug in tester.
3. Reverse polarity adapter lead (make one yourself from 2 Euro plugs and a short piece of cable).

Re 1 for the cost take one, two out of the three sites we used this year required it.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
If your caravan is fitted with double pole RCD and MCB and you use modern appliances and you always unplug anything not in use and don't attempt to repair anything which is plugged in you needn't worry about reverse polarty.
Just switching something off isn't sufficient you should always unplug,which I what you should do irrespective of polarity.
There are a few other things n the list which aren't law but are sensible,spare bulbs,fire ext' high viz for all occupants,caravan insurance etc.

The adaptor for 2 pin essential, the others optional.
If you are worried about polarity get your wife to place wetted fingers in the socket. If she faints it is correctly wired, if she just gets angry, the polarity is reversed.
Works every time for me

I have made up a 25m hook up lead with the live and neutral reversed at one end. I also take another one which is wired up the English way.
I also have polarity terser and a 2to 3pin adaptor.
This way I have covered every option. When you consider the price of each item why not take all 3.
"High viz jackets for each occupant are law BTW and they have to be easily reachable without having to exit the vehicle."
Incorrect ,the law requires that a high viz waistcoat and a warning triangle be readily available in a car.
Le Loi
Depuis juillet 2008, la possession d'un gilet rétro-réfléchissant et d'un triangle de pré-signalisation est obligatoire dans tous les véhicules.
Gilet de sécurité obligatoire également pour tous les cyclistes
