Hey guys, I’ve just bought myself a campervan with a view to taking it out, camping and using it as a base to either climb/Boulder or surf for the day/weekend. I’m looking for recommendations on camping kit that you guys have bought to put in your van for similar reasons. What’s the one thing you’ve found most useful? Thanks in advance everyone 🙂

Yep, clip top plastic bucket and poo bags.

Wellies, preferably comfy insulated ones you can wear barefoot

I do a lot of long drives from Sheffield to NW Scotland so a big box of adult nappies and a bag of cheap whizz is always under the front seat.

If you are a coffee lover then I cannot recommend enough getting an aeropress:

To be honest, I also use mine a lot of the time when I'm at home too

Who's joking? No! Sleep! 'Til Dingwall! Anyway, it's the responsible thing to do in the time of covid. Besides, they keep jacking the prices up at Cairn Lodge services, there's no point stopping for an artisan pasty anymore.

Some stickers from the 'brands'. That way the thieves will know what's in the van before they break into it.

I've always fancied a van with roof hatch and M240 machine gun or similar.

My Aeropress is my main source of coffee at home (plus a Hario v60 for flask filling), it’s brilliant kit. I’m on my 3rd plunger seal in 6yrs, and use a stainless filter for convenience’ sake, but it turns out a top brew morning after morning.
