[Muchos04]

Hi all

Any recommendations for the handiest portable table to bring around in the van? Plus four chairs? For two adults and a 4 and 6 year old!

Thanks

The Handiest table is the one in the sliding door

When camping I carry an additional table, white plastic with height agustable legs, legs fold under and table folds in half, it is very slim when folded.

Sold at many many places and varying sizes

Many thanks. Mine is a T5 conversion so I don’t have any table in the sliding compartment you suggest. Where did you buy your other one and chairs??

We’ve found the ‘Range’ is a good place to pick up inexpensive items. (It was recommended to us when we were looking too) We bought our small table with hard white plastic top & adjustable metal legs from there a few years ago. Probably similar to what Perfectos mentioned.

Thank you! Also Decathlon anyone ?

Camping Seats are a really personal choice, and everyone has different criteria.
I have several different types ranging from full length recliner to old style steel frame folding deck chair. As mentioned above the range is good

I have a Kampa Dometic hi-lo camping table which I used in my T4 . Tauntonleisure.com sell them on line for £23.21. Excellent company to deal with.
They also sell camping chairs. Have a look.

This is really helpful thanks all. I’ll have a look at Harleys for the table. For the chairs if anyone has links to decent ones send them on. I’m preferably looking for fairly compact one so I can minimise the amount of stuff in the Camper.

For those of us with non-Cali vans, this is also an option:

Saw this but quite pricey but very handy.

Saw this but quite pricey but very handy.

I made my own table. It can sit on the wheel arch trim. The folded comfort mattress can go on top between the multiflex edge and bench seat back, leaving luggage accessible below.



The table is long and narrow, and being long and narrow it does flex a bit.



It can also sit on top of storage crates to make an extended multiflex.





Finally, it can rest on top of Muji drawers and crates to make and handy and stable kitchen work area. I don't have a picture of the table with legs folded away being used in this way, but the picture below illustrates the way it works. The crates at the bottom go on top of the Muji drawers and the folded table legs interlock with the crates which have been slightly modified.



One table, four uses.

1. Folded mattress support allowing access below.
2. Standalone table.
3. Multiflex extension.
4. Mobile kitchen work surface.

1 & 2 work together; 3 & 4 work together. The pairs work together with one use for transit and the other use for camping.

Wow that’s some set up! Really impressive!

For me the best option is ‘CaliFamilyTable’ on Calisolar.ch to put on top of the VW one (expensive, but I made one myself with Trespa and it fits under the trunk matress) and I have two Lafuma foldable chairs that fit in the two VW chairs in the boot lid. Comfortably with 4 pp around the table... almost no space lost!
