Must have list...

Sort by date Sort by votes
99% of what I need for travel, long or short term is already in my motorhome -there's little difference in the list for either, the only things I'd need to add are passports, the content of the fridge from home, big bag of dogs food and more cash (always take cash when traveling, bought enough Euros in cash when they were 1.20 to last about 3 months)

Travel insurance that last for 9 months I’m travelling… either of us want to be repatriated if the wheels really come off! GHIC for usual ailments..

Spare OEM oil filter (surprisingly difficult to get amongst the myriad of pattern parts) if I feel the need to do an oil change. Air filter I can bang out and vacuum if necessary!

That’s it really!

Of the many food items we use which are british based we are finding the availability has increased in continental locations.
However must haves are Yorkshire tea, tinned custard, gravy granules, nan breads and poppadoms.

I'm the same as Bill-H on this one.

Long or short trips have the same needs for me.

In the van it is (or will be once it's built!) all packed and ready at all times. There's always a couple of 'emergency' meals which are usually tinned or dry goods and always some bottled water.

The rule of 3 set of clothes and several layers so that all weather can be accounted for.

Not familiar with the rule of 3? 1 is what you're wearing today, 2 is what you wore yesterday that's either dirty and needs washing or is washed and needs drying, 3 is a clean set for tomorrow.

Some means of cooking, some cash (cash is king), basic toolkit which will vary in size and complexity depending on the vehicle but will have a puncture kit and a compressor, some electrical stuff and spanners / sockets. A knife / multitool is also always carried.

Anything more than that is luxury - but coffee is the top of my luxury list.

Seeing your Michelin star food I'm amazed you used gravy granules 😁

Can't repeat enough how important insurance is. We were on a site the other day where sadly a motorhomer passed away.
Don't know what happened or what nationality they were but it got me thinking if we were covered for this eventuality both for the body and the van and surviving spouse.

I know it can be a sensitive subject matter but, I've wondered recently about this. Once all the paperwork is done in whichever country it may occur in, and assuming it's not me who's died, is there anything to stop me bringing my SO home in my moho?

Back bacon
Lime cordial (for lager & lime)
Bottles of tonic (not tins)
These are what we found difficult / impossible to track down in Spain

I normally use a knor stock pot with about 1/4 pint boiling water to start. Once meat cooked deglaze with wine then add the stock to pan to heat. Then 4 or 5 dessert spoons of history low salt granules and mix well.

Once veg is cooked put the gravy mix in saucepan and add veg water to get correct thickness and enjoy.

Never had complaints.

Here endeth the good Friday gravy making lesson🤣🤣🤣🤣
