 Hi John & Lynn

Yes that looks interesting device but once you add the cost of the quoted postage it is much less of a bargain.  I mean it is second hand and plastic thingys are not usually that expensive new.

We bought one of those larders (can't remember make now - but has a windshield and a canvas larder with mesh front/all in green).  anyway, it's really good apart from the fact that we can't put anything on the shelves in the larder without it buckling in the middle!  I can barely put a couple of platic plates in without it bending so that everything collects in the middle.  I'm going to have to find something solid to put in, maybe metal sheets.

Once made the mistake of putting food in the larder - silly me.  Squirrels soon accessed all areas!

We keep our food in one of those storage boxes with the click on lid.  We went out one day and came back to find teeth marks on one of the handles, some criter had obviously tried VERY hard to get into the box.  My husband told me later (sensible lad) that he saw a rat near a hedge about 4 yards from the tent.  I'm still trying to convince myself that it was a squirrel that attacked the box!!!!!!!  All food stays in the car boot now!

We are having a similar dilemma - we use either the sunncamp dayroom or kitchen tent for kitchen space and currently use a couple of tables and a number of Sainsburys boxes with lids.

We're struggling for packing space and need to rationalise what we're taking so are looking for some kitchen suggestions.

I think we'll continue to keep food in lidded boxes for the reasons mentioned by someone else earlier!  But keeping utensils, cups, plates etc. in boxes is a pain in the neck as we are always digging round the bottom of boxes.  I'd like something that can be zipped up or sealed as I'm not keen on leaving things out in the open for the little ratties to crawl all over at night! 

I've been trawling round the Argos website and wonder if anyone has one of these:

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ArgosBrowseIterator?storeId=10001&C$cip=21743&categoryId=21743&Trail=C%24cip%3D21734%3EC%24cip%3D21735%3EC%24cip%3D21743&catalogId=3151&langId=-1&currPage=4

(portable larder) - I'd like to know how many shelves it has, could I add more and is it stable when in use?

Any other suggestions welcomed!

Does anyone know where to get a cheap plastic drainer from.  By drainer I mean the type when you've washed up you can slot the plates into to dry (and store) etc.  My local camping shop sells a good-looking one for £6.99!
