Back in December I requested advice regarding my first trip to France in the van. The plan was to visit in April. I ended up in Scotland instead, must have taken a wrong turn at M1 J21! . A really fabulous three weeks, fantastic weather and too early for the midges! First time away with the solar panel (what a wonderful piece of kit), first time with the camos dome and first time wild camping :Blush:....but thats a story for another thread!
May was Suffolk and once again, fantastic weather and the tan hasn't faded yet. June is North Cornwall and, eventually, July and August will be France. Soooo excited!!!
Now, thanks to Wivvys dad, Jaydee, Enjoy_yourself, Hildweller, Sedge, Jaygee and Heyupluv, who all very kindly responded to my original thread, I have some great ideas for places to visit. Thank you muchly.
I have some ideas,from reading the threads, about what extras I need to take with me. I have hi viz jackets, warning triangle, copies of all documents for the van, dog passport, plug to check for reverse polarity when on hook up, extra long hook up cable, power surge protector for the laptop, outdoor high power antenna for the WiFi, water hoses with various adaptors, five litre water containers with 12v pump, books of camp sites and aires, sat nav, French phrase book, Phew! and....space in the garage for the wine!
I just know that I must have forgotten the most important and essential things ever all suggestions gratefully received!
I know the dipped headlights need the beam deflected but I don't know how this should be done. The lights are the Hella type. I can find lots of advice but none appears relevant to these type of lights. What to do? Once again gang, I would appreciate your help

P.S. The Gasglow has an external filler, so that should be okay?
