Here is a list of the items we always find ourselves without when we get away for a weekend, we may have run out and forgotten to re-pack or forgotten them to begin with but these bits and pieces are undoubtedly always needed on any campervan trip:

• Bin bags.
• Plastic zip lock sandwich bags.
• Dishwashing liquid or better still, one of those Dishomatic sponges where you can fill up the liquid in the handle, saves taking a separate bottle of liquid.
• Paper towelling or toilet paper.
• Tea towel.
• Tea bags.
• Mozzie repellent or candle.
• Tupperware containers.
• Butter/margarine.
• Tea spoons (not part of our camping cutlery set).
• ANOTHER towel or sarong (for the beach, for your shower, for laying on the grass, we take 2 per person).
• Enough warm clothes (a beanie, scarf or gloves is always handy to keep in your van for those surprisingly chilly nights).
• Surface spray to clean your camping table.
