    2 weeks ago my partner & I bought our very first caravan together (Coachman Laser 590/4), we won't be taking it home until the end of the month but in the meantime we want to get prepared for our first trip.

    The caravan is a 2004, twin axle Coachman Laser 590/4.

    I'd appreciate your help in preparing for our first trip i.e. what do we need. I am more interested in knowing what I need to connect to mains in parks, what is the story with water - is there a tap to connect for every pitch to or is it a case of filling tanks seperately in the park?

    We have been advised that we need a battery, what is the battery powering? Is it just to heat water in the caravan or will it keep lights, fridge etc powered also if not connected to to main supply?

    These are just a few things I can think of straight away but no doubt experienced campers will be able to add to this list. I'd really appreciate your help.

    Again, I'm not looking for someone to tell me to remember to bring sun cream - as I'm all over that but I need a list for my boyfriend to tick off before we leave.

    Thanks
