Hi everyone! We're hiring a static caravan for the first time this summer - so excited but also a bit nervous about forgetting something important! What should we definitely pack that we might not think of? We're a family of 4 (kids are 6 and 9) and we're going for a week in Dorset.

Exciting! Here are the things people always forget: - Tea towels and kitchen roll (most caravans don't provide them) - Bin bags - Washing up liquid and sponges - Salt, pepper and cooking oil - Toilet roll (there might be one roll provided but you'll need more) - A torch for night-time walks - Board games for rainy days - Extra coat hangers Also check with the owner what's provided - some include bedding and towels, some don't. Better to ask than assume!
