Bongo Fury

I haven't been camping in about 10 years since I used to go with ex. We used to survive on cider, fags, coffee and corned beef butties

In 2 weeks I will be heading off my hubby and the kids - luckily no one is a fussy eater but I am at a loss to what to feed everyone. We have a hob with 2 burners, a fridge and a small cannister suitcase burner. And We have a grill but it doesn't have a door.

So does any have any easy family favourites? Also does anyone have any recommendations for pans, folding camper chairs, sleeping bags and how to fit it all in! I have a folding table with separate stools. I also have our old memory foam mattress topper that I was going to cut down for levelling out the contours on the seats and softening up the roof bed.

Next year I will look into a gas bbq but I have a disposable to use for the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Get youself a Ridgemonkey toaster, you won't look back.

I saw that on my trawl through the forum I LOVE toasties. You could really let your creativity show.ummm

You can cook pretty much anything in one.

Top scoff and very little gas.

Ordered.

As to meals Chilli Con Carne & boil in the bag rice and Spaghetti Bolognese are a couple of favourites, if you don't have a fridge then canned mince and onion is acceptable.

Keep some long-life essentials in the van for when you can't get fresh supplies, things like Spam, Pot Noodles, jars of Bockwürsts etc.

A small barbecue is a good laugh even in the rain, there are a fair few ideas HERE which we've mostly done on a very small bbq that fits under the rear seats. But not when lit....

Also if you're feeling adventurous, there are some ideas HERE we did a few years back when I was bored with cheese salad sandwiches for lunch at work. One or two of the links may be dead now but most should work. I was particularly proud of the Wienerschnitzel

Really want a cobb or cadac now. We saw a cadac at go outdoors loved it but the Cobb sounds amazing. This is turning into an expensive hobby will be using a disposable BBQ for now until my numbers come in!

Just looked at every pic yummy no need to be worried about just eating sarnies and burgers. Yum glad dinner is on
