I just couldn't survive without my 'Sat-nag'
When the electronic bit of kit gets it wrong or I make a slight error such as creeping slightly over the speed limit she is excellent at finding us a better or alternative route and is quick to advise me of my misdemeanour.
Bless her, she cooks a mean evening meal as well. If only I could get her to empty the toilet cassette as well. xxx

So far we have only done weekends away but I'd say my iPad, we don't currently have a TV and no plans to get one, but the iPad acts as a route planner, and entertainment when needed, I always have a film or two on it for when we have no 3G signal and when we do there's bbc, Skygo, Netflix, Amazon plus I always download 10 or so episodes of a TVs series, west wing is our current MH series, been ages since we watched it so it seems new again.

If you get bored - You just have to watch 'Suits'. Lots of strutting around the office but very good. Ladies will love Harvey Spectre and ALL the boys love Donna!

Not long enough, but a little common sense helps..........
I've been trying to persuade my dearly beloved that Ebikes and a dog trailer is a good idea. Do you use them a lot?
Having just hired our eBikes before committing to buying them I can only say they have changed my view on cycling. When out the other day round trip of 50km and it was a breeze with loads of battery life still left. Have already removed scooter rack from our MH ready and now just got to decide when and what make and model to buy.
Cannot comment on dog trailer, but have seen a few here in Spain being used.

Already avid suits addicts, all the men wear suits too small for them and the women dresses too small for them.

How Dave still has this show is beyond me, I'd have thought sky would have pinched it off them by now.

I've loved reading all these answers. We don't have a one time favourite, but what we do have now is an understanding that everything on board should have a multi purpose and we stick to it as best we can. I'm not sure what mine is or his to be honest o_O

Breaking bad whole series recorded kept us glued on one of our trips early in the year, last year or maybe year before. Brilliant.

I enjoy cooking so tend to take too much cookware and cooking accessories :rolleyes:, I like my cooking toys.. :LOL:
but you don't need 3 different size frying pans, a full set of pots, casseroles etc etc .. so have cut it down to the bare minimum ..
Oh goodness I am the worst for too many cooking toys, Colin despairs of me and just looks skyward when something else arrives in the van.

List to date and still being carried in the van:

Remoska - simply the best bit of kitchen kit ever bought.
Slow cooker - used maybe once a week, more in winter.
Pressure cooker - used when touring and off EHU.
Double skillet - used all the time.
3 different sized frying pans - just because they came in a set!
3 different sized saucepans - as above.
Hob top oven (as recommended by @chockswahay )
Cadac BBQ- just changed from the Carrie chef to the Safari.
3 ring portable gas hob, using everyday at the moment but not when touring, unless on a site and the weather is good.
Silicon veg steamer
Hand held electric blender
At least 3 very good sharp knives, there maybe more at the back of the cupboard somewhere!

I really need to get a grip and cut down on all this! :rolleyes:
