Items such as a first aid kit and decent power bank should be considered a priority. After all, you don’t want to be stranded with no phone in an emergency. Equally, although it’s not a legal requirement, a first aid kit is essential if you have a medical emergency.
Portable generators, portable toilets and shower systems are more luxury items. How far you go with your list of campervan essentials will depend on your budget.
