With all thats going on just now we've decided to give camping a try... well hopefully

I did camping when i was a kid & Dad decided to go the caravan route afterwards, i've done the static caravan thing but gave up due to site fees

So i've just purchased the Berghaus Air 6XL.

Could the knowledgeable among you help me on my way ?

Holidays will consist of me, SWMBO & our 6 year old little boy

What is classed as essentials, hints & tips

Thanks everyone
Holidays will mostly be overnights, with a week in the summer this year.
I'm a big lad but not powerfully built so sleeping will be a big thing for me.
Whats the deal with airbeds vs sim's ? I struggle with a football injury from years ago so my hip gets sore lying on hard surfaces
I've ordered the cadac grill, some of the other bits i'm ordering i can keep when i eventually upgrade to a tourer
Really appreciate all the help
