If your taking a boat then you will need to take the saftety equipment and fuel. Think of recreational activities and make a list of “toys” to keep the kids entertained. Do you need to take extra tents and sleeping gear? Tools – take a shovel and aand electric drill and a snatch strap as they can come in very handy when you least expect them. And don’t forget to pack a couple of torches in case you need to take a walk after dark!

Food & water – well it goes without saying but taking plenty of water and food is important. Always take more water than you think you will need just in case!  Keeping water cool and food fresh is helped if you use a good fridge / freezer such as a waeco or engel – they are not cheap but they are worth the investment if you are regualr camper. (try typing engel into our search box for a price check)
