A frequently asked question is “What do you have in your van?”
Well, here’s a list of items that I have, why I carry them, and why you might decide you want them, too!
My vehicle of choice, and home from home, is a Swift Escape 674 motorhome. This has its advantages and disadvantages, but I like to think that I have everything I need to be as comfortable and prepared as possible, within reason, and within the weight limit of the vehicle.

As you will no doubt gather, this is a long list and a work in progress. I shall be back to refine this list as and when I get time!
