Essential Equipment 

Garmin GPS Navigation
In our earlier adventures, we used to get lost quite a lot (especially scary when we were in Transylvania!). Now we always know where we are, down to about 20 feet. The joys of GPS navigation.
We reckon these are the best navigation systems you can buy, with the added bonus that they are portable so you can switch it between cars. Great!

MDS Battery Mains Inverter
What a great invention! We took one of these to Poland with us last year, and now have no idea how we ever lived without it. 240V Mains power in your car (UK only i'm afraid) lets you power anything you like, from kettles to Laptops! Fantastic!
