Welcome and hope you have many great camping experiences.

My advise? You don't need to pack a lot of stuff to have a happy and successful first camping experience. Take only what you need and only what you know you will use. More is not needed. Eventually, you will be camping where something different is required. When that happens, then get it. Until then, keep it simple to start with and grow as your experiences grow!

I do suggest though, you outfit your camper with nice stuff. Too many outfit with used, left over, old stuff, or stuff stowed away in the attic of your house. This is OK and a great starting place. And this is exactly how we started. But eventually, it was really, really nice when we bought a frying pan that did not stick on the bottom, and coated electric frying pans that were easy clean up. And nice sheets and fluffy pillows and soft, warm, and new blankets to feel really, really good and snuggly when you go to bed at night. (Just a suggestion ... turn your camper into a "love shack" for you and your mate and make it as plush as possible). You are not back-packing camping any more! You've just stepped into luxury!

Enjoy!
