Hello,  According to the trigano 2013 brochure there are now casters available for the odyssee/olympe kitchen that can be fitted to older models.  Has anybody tried these?  They seem expensive at £99 for a set and I was just wondering how they fitted onto the legs and whether they are worth the money.  I'm thinking probably not. Thanks,Marie.

try your local DIY store there are a good variety of 'casters' about at prob under a tenner for a pair or two....measure the inside of leg to find the size required... £99 seems extortionate for 4 casters....

Hi, I would be careful about fitting castor wheels to your kitchen. They would be a great help if you had a very solid smooth surface.

If like alot of pitches the ground was soft or not smooth, then the wheels will dig in. When you then try to move your kitchen you would put stress on the legs, this could possibly bend or break them.

If you bent the legs you would then have problems when pushing the leg struts back.

We have just bought a new Olympe and did not go for the kitchen this time, but did discuss and look at the wheeled kitchen. Unfortunately not all pitches are like a show room floor.

Best regards,

Tony

TVS sell them as well, but I'm pretty sure theirs are a whole replacement leg, perhaps the Trigano ones are as well? It's still a lot of money though!

If we hadn't opted to change the unit we were going to try castors, and the points Tony makes did put us off a bit. That said, I suppose if you are sensible about lifting it if it digs in then they should work.   Pitching our Jametic involves moving the kitchen right out of the awning so the zig can go in, then putting it back in, that means are fair amount of the distance involved is on groundsheet, which would probably be ok.

All the best,
Alison

I fitted casters to my Conway kitchen, they made a world of difference. Just 2 on on end enables you to drag the kitchen easily,and as you are pulling rather than pushing,they don't tend to dig in and ride over bumps. However,we usually had the ground sheet down before removing the kitchen,not being a zig,and that helped too.

PS,mine were off a scrapped hospital bed,so fairly large and braked too. Ground clearance was still fine whilst towing.

Miserly - how did you attach the wheels to your kitchen legs? My DIY skills are ok but not up to welding.

If you are any good at welding or know someone who is then this will show you how to fit wheels on a kitchen unit for roughly £12.

Never had a problem moving the kitchen unit on any campsite when I put them on the Olympe we had.

The ones I fitted had an expanding plug. They fit up the tube and then tighten with a spanner

We bought the casters for our olypme that we bought last year. They are actually a completely new set of kitchen legs with the wheels attached hence the price (although we only paid £80 last year).

We werent happy doing it ourselves just in case something went wrong and for us they have been worth every penny. When loaded the kitchen was so heavy and the handles so ridiculously small that I found it nearly impossible to lift ans carry more than a few feet at a time which drove my OH mad!!!!!!!

I can see what tony is saying about bumoy ground but a common sense approach is all that should be needed and tbh most of the campsites that we've stayed on whilst not showroom flat have not been too bumoy to wheel safely on.

Hi All,
Read all your comments re the kitchen wheely legs, just to let you know I now manufacture them in sets of two replacement legs complete with swivel 75mm wheels, one braked, simply replace your existing legs at one end of your detachable kitchen unit, they will fit any detachable trailer tent kitchen unit with the drop down support legs.
Best Regards SD2U

regarding our old chantilly kitchen dooda i cant see the point of casters as the unit is fairly light anyway.
BUT a great improvement is to make the legs adjustable in height.
very easy....
find some tube that slides up the feet tubes and fit the same screw clips that adjust the tent frame by drilling one hole at the base of each leg for the screw to go though to grip the inner leg,now no looking for stones or bits of wood to stop it wobbling or making one end higher on a slope
