Best camping gadget

It's called a kakdonalds when you do that. Purely going in for a sh1t without eating

And if you happen to prefer the facilities in a Burger King is it called ‘Doing a whopper’?

Vs a Big Cack?

I love this light. Mines also chargeable by solar and fits in the cup holder on the dashboard. Haven't charged bybusb yet.
Great light and zaps those flies.
My other favourite thing are Taylors coffee bags!!! Love my coffee but these are less messy and take up less room than a coffee machine. And when used and dried, burn easily to keep wasps away.

We have two - they great on a night time in the awning on zap mode only as a 335 navigator as well!

A lanyard with my spare key attached and fixed to my belt, key in pocket so I do not risk getting locked out by putting key down and closing door. Does mean I have to have clothes with pockets and a belt but worth it.

These are great to put around steering wheel, marked up if you like with ‘roof’, ‘EHU’, ‘drain’, etc etc. All credit to the OP, now forgotten.

Camping elastic washing line

We’ve not got this exact one, can’t find it anywhere and had it for years - but it sits nicely between the poles on the rollout awning.

It can be arranged to fit between front and back opposite corners, and the light/bug zapper mentioned before can hang nicely off it in the middle of the awning

Tyre table, fits on any wheel. Great for quick stops and when using a BBQ/Cadac outside with no risk of burning the sliding door table (been there and done that). Extra beer/coffee space and because it fits on the tyre you can level it no matter what slope your'e on

I find this to be perfectly adequate when caught short. Fits nicely on the Shoebox too so always accessible and discreet.

I'd need two of them for overnight!!!

I really like this, but can’t find any UK sellers for a reasonable price. Where did you purchase yours from?

Hi, the only UK supplier I know of and where I got mine was from Ox Overland. They do a steel one (which I have because I prefer black!) or a much lighter aluminium one. Neither are cheap c. £155/180 from memory. That said I recommend buying the genuine article, I did originally buy a knock off from ebay and although it looked pretty much the same it just didn’t work. The original is really easy to set up and very robust. I probably use it every time I camp or go out for a day trip.

I've never seen one of those before.
Interested in why you don't use the table in the sliding door?

I like to have prep space for cooking outside the van and to use the Cali table for sitting at/eating. Also I often cook on a small cadac and/or small BBQ that I want to get off the ground, the tyre table is steel so no danger of scorching the top. The other bonus of the tyre table doesn’t suffer on uneven ground because it can be levelled on the wheel. I also have a few magnetic hooks I attach to the table for t-towels, rubbish bag, somewhere to hang tongs etc. It’s probably my most used gadget/accessory.

You seem to be someone who likes to be off grid a lot, if so it’s a must!

Please can you stop posting items you’ve bought for a week or so.
I’ve seen a few things across different threads that I like the look of. They’ve all been reasonably expensive and they’ve all been posted by you!

I’ve done really well not buying anything additional for our van lately and your posts are encouraging me to spend.

Have I told you about my platinum levelling blocks? The diamond encrusted grip pad may seem a bit overkill but….

Hi Flying Banana, I am thinking about getting one of these. Wondered how you have been getting on with it and what size you got. Thanks

 

[Almost bought a california]

3d printed with food grade plastic, short push in funnel. Search on eBay, I could find a link if you can't find it. 2 versions available.

I made my own - very similar. Here are the files if you have a 3D printer - 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height in PETG
I may add a return to the top inside edge at some point to allow faster filling - I can add the STEP file if there's any interest
