When we had our first campervan (a VW California T6 Ocean) back in 2018, we wish someone had sat us down and explained what to get as a bit of a starter kit to help us on our way with our vanlife. We cobbled together bits of old camping gear, stuff from the house and over time have replaced most of it for one reason or another.

New stuff comes along all the time but we have shared our top 10 (well, top 11!) campervan essential items. We hope this is helpful and most of these products can be bought from a range of camping shops too.
