I admit this thread is fuelled by an itch to buy some kind of gadget/item that I probably don't really need, but ... If you are an experienced mobile home holiday maker, what are you tip tips of things to take with you that make life in a glorified caravan easier? We're driving if that makes a difference.

My tip (which applies to all holidays to be honest) is to take fold up laundry baskets like this.

I'm thinking I might take pillows this time. And yes to a sharp knife!

Foil (multiple uses eg picnic wrapping, bbq, covers food)
Washing line and pegs
Citronella candles or hanging wasp catcher
Torches (useful for discrete loo trips at night and good fun exploring with kids)
Small portions or tabs of washing powder
small serrated knife for tomatoes etc
sharp kitchen scissors!

I agree with the poster who said decent size mugs as the cups provided are sometimes tiny.

Solar or battery operated fairy lights for sitting on the decking at night
YY to bathmat tea towel and chopping board
Plastic wine glasses as the ones provided are like thimbles
Uno/top trumps
I'm looking at microfibre towels this year to save space
Crocs for walking around the site

We loved these holidays when our DC were little and I used to pack a play sized dustpan and brush so they could help with the fairly constant sweeping!
Have a wonderful time.

I bought one of these for our beach tent to clean out the sand that gets in, it just lives in its bag.

We are driving this year and if we have space we are taking our hand held Dyson. There is broom etc but we always miss our Dyson
