In our job, believe it or not, there is quite a bit of waiting around so in the cab for everyday I have hour guard,
sat-nav and loads of back up paper map thingymajigs (not too sure how to use them though, its normally a quick phone call to another driver and a scribble on a ■■■ packet (283 ra l lr ph rd l 1m r 2r. translated = A283 roundabout turn left, at the lights turn right, at the pub, the red dragon, turn left after 1 mile turn right and its second on the right!)
phone charger
sports bottle full of water
camera
25 litre water container sat in passenger foot well
And cool box on passenger seat
40 Lamberts
chewing gum

under the bunk is a different matter

super glue
gaffer tape/electrical tape
leatherman
spanners (open jaw, ring and adjustys) and pliers
spare boots
stove with spare gas x3
whistling kettle (like to know when the kettle is leaving harbour)
tea bags and sugar
disposable bbq
pans and cooking utensils (new stuff but don’t tell the wife)
laptop with built in sim slot for interweb thingy
portable hard drive with films on
dvd wallet with about 30 dvds in (not any mucky ones sadly)
tv with built in dvd player
and enough food to survive a nuclear fallout of about 5 weeks (as long as you like beans, spaghetti hoops and fruit cocktail!)
enough clothes to last 2 weeks (you never know when you are going to get weekended somewhere)
at least 2 packets of wet wipes
and the most important thing of all behind the seat - 2 empty ■■■■ bottles and an old washing up bowl with bin bag (with no holes) already in it in case the brown bum water makes an appearance (not what you need when tramping!)

I would also take:

  • a pair of flip-flops in case I get a chance to have a shower.
  • an inflatable pillow ( 1 quid from Poundland )

@ Lee… just thought this stove could be useful for you…it is a camping stove that runs on unleaded so you won’t need to worry about those gas refill cans as you can get petrol from the pump. >>>> worldofcamping.co.uk/shop/co … ductSearch

If you are really considering buying this Coleman stove you might find a good idea to take advice from the camping experts :smiley: and buy the following ( see link ) in order to keep your stove clean from fuel additives >>>> aaoil.co.uk/environment-Aspe … ate-petrol

That is the pure gasoline !

thanks for the info fella much appreciated… i already own a colemans petrol stove but not that model i got the one that stands alone(if you know what i mean) thats why i thought the one you put the link up for was very interesting :wink:

I refuse to have a Sat Nav in my cab. I must be the only bloke on the firm without one but then I, unfortunately, have a very retentive memory and no matter where I go I always remember it. Being one of the those ‘old timers’, it is not very often I get lost or cannot find anywhere so in my cab, I carry a Atlas Routier for Spain and Portugal, one for France, a small road map for each of Holland and Belgium and lastly the UK atlas with the bridge heights marked. I think there may also be a European atlas buried in there somewhere too LOL
As for other items, apart from my laptop running through a 300W fingie, I use nothing else. I refuse to cook at night as I work to the attitude I spend all bloody day in the cab so at night I want out of it.
In the side locker is a multitude of crap ranging from wellies (never know when I am going to Wales), a club hammer, a good powerful stand alone torch, and a range of screw drivers and bulbs etc. A bulldog clamp for those times I really don’t want anyone looking in the back and a container of engine oil.
On the top bunk lives all my clothes etc. Enough to last me three weeks if need be.
