Does anyone have any suggestions or comments (polite o otherwise) re Utility Tents i.e. somewhere to cook & store the cooking stuff so the main tent doesn't stink!!!

If it cant be done outdoors its not worth doing!

we have just come back from a wet at times week in France. We bought the Outdoor Revolution Outhouse ( for sale on ths site) it was a godsend. Could never have coped with all the cooking stuff in the tent. Weighs 3kgs, takes less than 5 mins to put up including pegging and guyropes. We had our cooker on a stand with side table attached plus seperate storage unit with hard top which used a s work surface plus still had room at night to store the BBQ, kids scooters etc. I wouldnt be without it now. Best bit also is the price £39.99

Outhouse here also.. it's great. It's safer too if you have kids / dogs about.

If you want a pic theres one on this thread http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=110227&showActive=1&ReturnPage=Active

That's the correct colour. The shop shows a mucky green.

I would recommend swopping the guy ropes for luminous ones.. you'll need 4metre ones. Stll a bargain though.

Hi,

If you want to go a bit bigger and spend a little more (hmm £120 ish), then we use the Outwell Oklahoma Day Tent. We put our Cooker and tables in there, and serves as somewhere to cook and eat.

Our Oaky has served us well, and is rated at 3000HH. It has only been subjected to light rain so far.

Cheers,

Pete.

Suncamp Day Room - easy to put up by one person and room to cook, sit and party in.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

We have the oklahoma as well,we were camping that notorious wet BH and our tent was brill, it is only a daytent though so don't be expecting to sleep in it as well !! I like my moneys worth so we use this in the garden as well under its gazebo guise.So versatile, we butt it up to our tent with just a small escape route between and it looks the biz!!
