LOL that might be a bit difficult as I have a bulldog, but she's not a puppy luckily
I intend to enjoy and admire my van at every opportunity (when I finally get it!)Comfortable camping chairs and beer caddy
so you can sit and admire your van
Memory foam topper if you plan on getting a good nights sleep, foot rests for the rear passengers as camper bed bench seats sit much higher then normal car/van seats, a good porta potti is not essential but a luxury if someone needs a pee during the night, levelling blocks also a must as no one likes to sleep on tilt. I’m sure there many more but theres just a few.
Thank you, do you have any links to the foot rests? That's one thing I've never thought of...
I use flip flops
Not sure if these are the exact ones we bought (there’s loads on amazon) but there basically the same:

I don’t like wearing shoes in the house or the van. If we're set up for the night on site then these go on. Lovely and warm!
Combine with Peter's gardening shoes for emergency visits
Oh for sure, you have to set yourself up properly. There's no point in scrimping after spending £xxk on a van and then not being warm and prepared. It's ok in the caravan because we can leave things in the awning but not so with the van.I don’t like wearing shoes in the house or the van. If we're set up for the night on site then these go on.
