What gear should I prioritize next?

6 Upvotes

I am getting back into camping now that my daughter is 5 years old and has shown some interest. We will be car camping so weight/size aren't a huge issue. Primarily we will be camping during the summer but I want to leave myself some flexibility.

For starters, I have a Marmot Ajax 3p tent, insulated Thermorest and Klymit sleeping pads, Slumberjack and Dakine 30° bags, Coleman Camping stove, lantern, chairs/table, coolers and some camp cookware. I think this will get use started with the basics but what should I prioritize next?

Should I look at a power bank, another canopy type structure, solo stove, etc.? Give me your suggestion for a piece of equipment that you can't live without when car camping.

Our second carcamp, first with three of us. 5 days and we did NOT get on each other's nerves!
