a folding table
a camping saucepan set
still to get
a kettle
cutlery
a mallet
I want a wardrobe- but i need to measure the car first
I think this is all going to fit in my car (a fiat multipla) but i will be able to take 1 back seat out to give us extra room
I would add chairs, plates, cutlery and cups, cooking utensils and a washing line. We also have a mini spice/herb/condiment set because I love cooking proper food on a campsite. I would also replace the air beds with good quality self inflating mats (much easier to set up/put away, more comfortable and more compact for travelling/storage). I've never bothered with a toilet but we have 8 people so there would be a long queue for it.
