And don't forget to pack the remote for the TV into your new bag....we did this on the first trip and couldn't tune in the telly!!!  Thankfully, we had packed a few DVDs to keep the kids occupied in the evenings and we also take board games, cards etc.  (always packed in the van each season) and find this is something we tend to do when on holliday but rarely at home.

Bottle opener and tv remote if you're taking a tv - also an aerial lead if you want to connect to the site aerial supply.
Also a selection of DVDs in case tv reception poor! (We've bought loads from carboots lately for around £1-2 each).

Chairs to sit on outside and enjoy the good weather (fingers crossed).

Enjoy - we've been vanning a year and love it

thanks all, only one sleep to go now

Got to sort a TV, got two in the loft with various freeview boxes and the important remotes from when we changed the kids TVs last year. The dealer is fitting a digital aerial for us so fiddling with that will keep OH busy this weekend (once we've mastered the awning ).

Wendle, our daughter loves games so got the travel game assortment packed already. One game I can highly recommend that takes up very litttle space is Bananagrams. Picked it up brand new in bag for 50p at carboot and we play it most days.

I can just imagine us doing that! Our first trip this weekend is only 40 mins from home so we can pop home if we need to

I like the look of that game - think I'll order it for our next trip.

Hubby has put one of the caravan keys on his car keyring as his is the towcar - and we'll always know that we've got it then!!

Wendle, thats a good idea. Will definetly get OH to do that. Mind you proble he laways has is remembering where hes left his car/house keys. Bananagrams is really good, you might be able to pick one up on ebay for a couple of quid.

Got our delivery of goodies from Waubys today, I'm like a kid at Christmas.

I can recommend taking a cordless drill and a long adapter - for winding the corner steadies up/down quickly & easily.
