Baggage and Customs in the Netherlands

Hi,
My hubby and I bought a used RV in Amsterdam a month ago and it's there waiting for us. We plan to bring supplies for the RV (sheets, cookware, lights, etc...) with us in our checked baggage. Will all of these things need to be declared when we get there? Will we need to pay any sort of duty on these items? We bought our tickets before the new baggage restrictions went into effect, so each of us are allowed 2 50lb boxes each. I've never dealt with customs before, so I'm scared that once we get there, we are going to have pay a tax or something on everything that we bring. Help! Thanks!

You should be fine. Be aware of the special rules for packing camping supplies (gas cannisters can only be packed, in particular, under certain controlled conditions). No duty should be charged for that sort of stuff, at least as far as I know.
