Make it a list of what you NEED, not what you THINK you need.
Buy stuff as the need arises or you may end up with a load of stuff you never use.

Use your van first and then buy what you need

Welcome.

Just use stuff from your house until you decide exactly what it is you actually need.

Welcome - lovely van

Maybe pack an overnight bag, enough stuff to cook and eat a meal, coffee stuff and bedding, and book yourself onto a site close to home for a night?

Sure you'll soon know what else you need
(EHU cable would be a good start)

It's amazing how quick you get used to it, I've had a motorhome the same overall size as my current one before and had zero issues driving it. When buying this one the first few hours driving it I was really nervous as being the a class you really do feel your Sat miles back from the front of the van when really it's the same distance it's just the position of the windscreen that's different.
But when I've driven it since I've not felt that nervousness as I've become used to the size of the cab

Hi Marilyn,

That's a fantastic MoHo for your first purchase. It's certainly a very big unit so enjoy it and have some great fun.

All the best,
