Our motorhome came fitted with a solar panel great assest
I would say tie between
silver screen cover with privacy panel, great for keeping heat out and in according to season. Less faff than the curtains, but they are another layer of insulation in the winter, great privacy too from the silverscreen
Duverlay mattress toppers, had 2 singles for easier storage but use as a double not had a gaping issue

yes absolutely the motor mover above all, then the adaptor for a service pitch.
I suppose it's often overlooked but the aquaroll and wastemaster are fantastic accessories with a superb design. To start our caravaning life we hired a caravan and it came with huge plastic containers that had to be carried, do that a few times and you'll see how good the aquaroll is.

By a long chalk, the best addition must be the display that shows the instantaneous current consumption from the EHU.

Toss up between motor mover and Lock 'n Level - but that has now been replaced with E&P hydraulic levelling - so that gets my vote.

Mover has to be my No.1 not to bothered on site, if there is enough room I do like to keep my hand in at reversing, but getting up the drive at home would be a pain without it, pushing a 5 berth caravan up a slope is not easy
No.2 that nice gadget that fits on the end of my portable drill that winds down the steadies, my rear ones are quite a way under the van and using the drill and attachment is so much easier
No. 3 Duvalay sleepiing bags with built in memory foam mattress, bulky to store but we have plenty of room, we make the front lounge into a double bed roll out 2 Duvalays, perfect for the 2 of us and pooch
, we have a lounge at rear of caravan that we use if weather not great etc.p.s. worst it probably those screw in rock pegs, could never get them to work satisfactorily

Wing mirror protectors would be the first on the list, closely followed by my cup holder. It’s a strip of black rubber with a cup holder built in. Made to fit over the arm of a chair but it’s ideal for fitting securely over the back cushion of our side settee as we only have a work surface on the other one.
You can buy on Amazon for £20
but I got mine ages ago from Coopers of Storford and it was a lot cheaper.0 -
On our caravans it has to be the motor mover, followed by the small electric drill I bought in Aldi for £24 to wind the steadies. That was after years of doing it manually, saying I didn’t need one.
For the MH it has to be the solar panels I had fitted. I don’t know how we would have managed during these lockdowns without them, as the van is in storage and having a working tracker / alarm is an insurance requirement. Also the refillable gas, no worries about usage when we took the van to France.

I would agree with the above post. Solar panels and Safefill refillable. Get away from Calor's ripoff prices.

Never owned a mover, remoska, etc.....
We started touring life in a very small camper van. To this day, the humble on board porta potti (precursor to the fancy electric fitted in cassette loos) remains our most valued bit of kit! 😁

CS said - it came with huge plastic containers that had to be carried,
I've had 2 of those plastic containers split when carrying it onto the trolley. Not funny (well a little bit I suppose for those watching) having an unintentional foot bath.

When we had an Elddis Crusader the best accessory was my tool box, with lots of different screw drivers electric tape and at times a degree in plumbing. 😊

I have this on my Coachman, it is called a rear window.
From the drivers seat in my Sorento, i can see through the caravan and out through the rear window, perhaps in a more elongated view than via a camera but it works
I find it most useful when returning to lane after overtaking, but i still look for that friendly flash from the HGV's. 0
