Begin with what you actually need
There is no single list of equipment that suits every campervan. Consider how many nights you spend away, whether you usually have an electrical hook-up, how much room you have for storage and what you really use day to day. It is often more useful to buy a few suitable items than a van full of features that never leave their packaging.
Explore our buying guides
Start with leisure batteries and solar panel sizing when planning your electrical system. For daily comfort, compare fridges and coolboxes or explore our compact cooking equipment guide. Browse the Gear & Essentials directory for more equipment categories, or visit Top 10 Recommendations for researched product shortlists.
Recommendations explain their research basis and do not claim first-hand testing where none has taken place. Our editorial standards explain the difference in more detail.
