You have no other right to the land and this is why in legislation land is considered 'registered' rather than owned.

Audio There's no doubt that having a decent stereo is important, and quite honestly the one fitted in the factory isn't the best, and the speakers are basically pants. Most vehicles these days use ISO standard connectors allowing a range of head units to be connected, older vehicles will need custom wiring.

Laptops, Notebooks and Tablets I think most people have at least one large format device that they take with them when they are away which is great, but there are some considerations. Charging Most tablets charge via USB these days, and USB chargers that run from 12V are everywhere, but larger devices such as laptops and notebooks quite often take more power and need special considerations.

Car Parks (and Parking in them) Parking a camper in a car park used to be no problem at all, and you'd never give it a second thought, but in the last few years its all got a bit silly. Many car parks have height barriers that simply prevent you from parking in them, and those that don't have signs that are deliberately confusing about what, when and where, so you need to be careful when parking anywhere.

After an Accident DON'T PANIC Firstly, it's NEVER your fault, remember that, and even if you’re driving perfectly correctly, someone else might not be, and quite often an unplanned vehicle-interface situation is the result. Even if no one is injured, it’s an stressful time, but there are some things that you absolutely must do following such an incident, to keep yourself on the right side of the law and the insurance companies.
