    My wallet with at least a debit card.

    A coat in case I break down and have to leave the motorhome.

    A mobile phone for emergencies.

    Duplicate set of keys

    Most of the time my motorhome is prepacked including up to date first aid kit, fire blanket and fire extinguisher.

    A duplicate car key isn't something I'd have considered at one time until we were in France a few years ago. A bloke was getting help from reception in getting his Rover to a local dealer to sort his car key. For what ever reason, his existing key wasn't talking to his car. It would have been inconvenient at home, but in France with a Rover would have been a nightmare.

    MOBILE for use in the event of a problem.

    EVERYTHING ELSE - in the caravan to wash, dress, eat, and sleep
