Complete novices!

Hello

I assume you mean electric?

Toaster- very useful in our experience, much simpler to just plug in and the toast pops up when ready and easier to keep clean, but see below about kettles 

Storage - just get some plastic crates, they ones that fold up and/or have carry handles are best to carry the stuff from your house and fold flat when not needed. Up to you but we now just buy stuff, usually fresh, when on site and/or on a shorter time basis.

The cheapest electric kettle you can get will be be fine, ours was a basic from Adsa. As with the toaster get the lowest wattage you can find so that you won't go over the Amp limit on a  site. On a club site this will be 16A and so it means it will take longer but you may be able run your electric heating and kettle at the same time. Again I've found automatic electric kettles easier to use than hob ones. 

Keep asking away, we all started just like you.

Hello and welcome.

A low wattage toaster is useful but I found in our Warwick Duo (same as the Sussex) that the space it occupied was more use for other things. Any make of kettle will do but make sure it’s low wattage. 1000w max is my recommendation. They tend to be cheaper from sources other than caravan/MH dealers.

It’s best to carry heavy objects like tins and well padded bottles in a low cupboard.

Finally, if you’ve not already discovered it, I can recommend the AutoSleeper Owners Forum where you will find some very knowledgeable people.

Supermarkets used to provide collapsable cardboard carriers for wine bottles which can be used in a crate to avoid having to fill it full to stop rattle. Also takes beer bottles and tins.

If you've got an electric hot plate on your stove a camping kettle which sits flat might be useful as well as a small electric kettle. The camping kettle can also be used on gas if the power goes off or you decide to go out for the day in the van. 

We are still using a Russel Hobbs that is about 20 years old. I think the equivalent is:-

"Russell Hobbs 23840" At 1000w and 1L it does all we need. 

We also have a cheap 2 slice toaster, costing a fraction of our Dualit at home.

For packing we just use lots of tea towels.

In a foot locker we have a plastic stacker box for tins and anything in glass that could break, eg wine. If you jam your packets of pasta and rice etc around them all should be fine.
