Clean Sheets (to be different).


But I suggest you take everything that you actually used on the previous outing.

In other words, remove everything that you didn’t use last time.

Think twice about anything that’s “just in case”. We only take the spare wheel on European trips, for example.

Definitely gaffa ( duct) tape

Not so sure about that. We never used to carry a spare at all until we had a massive tyre failure last November when we were only 6 miles from home that turned into a very stressful saga for the recovery. We now have a spare wheel that is permanently in the moho.

Like an umbrella, if you take one with you, you are probably not going to need it.

 

[mitzimad]

Been using these for ages.

They are great to dry the worst off after a shower. Means the towels don't get so wet and definitely much easier to dry.

Have to agree with @peterc10 a spare wheel, having had puncturer in both the last two van and had blow outs on two caravans that completly destroyed the tyres.
Also water never travel anywhere without a full tank.
