20 days and counting

[Bertie Bus]

Finally after many months we will be picking up our new Bailey Autograph 75-2 motorhome. We have had it on hold at Alan Kerr since April as the buyer of a property we have dropped out and we had to wait for a new one to come along. Alan Kerr have been great and very understanding while we waited and now we are just 20 days away from picking up our first van 'Bertie' (named after my Dad).
We are going to book a campsite close to Alan Kerr for our first night just in case we have any snags/questions. Can you recommend any important must have's for our first outing? We have the basics bedding,towels, kitchen stuff, gas bottles etc and we will pick up a fire extinguisher just in case. I am sure there are some 'you can't go out in the van without' bits and we bow to your experience.
Many thanks Bob and Karen

Love it, where can I get one for my Christmas list?

Make yourself a reminder list of things to check before you leave home/site. There is one on here somewhere.
Enjoy!

Good quality shithouse paper or one of these, especially if you have piles and/or Klingons.

Save the trees and use a hose and your left hand.

Bin bags, supermarket 10p carrier bags (I'm constantly forgetting these when I'm at home & must have about 50 quids worth stuffed in kitchen cupboards) and a cheap plastic storage box to put shoes in & tuck under the van rather than bringing muddy footwear inside.

We are the same, we have dozens so they will come in handy.
