Hi,

 

looking to replace plastic table that we use to keep all our food on etc.

Any recommendations on a good larder. I know some of them had really weak MDF shelves so I would like to avoid those.

We don't use a larder...we use a plastic box with a lid that closes. I have looked at the larders but just never felt that they were not value for money.

Why can't we live in the tent..?

i have just taken delivery of a kitchen larder from towsure. Ordered it sunday and it arrived today.

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product/14616

Just put it together and am really impressed with it. It's even got feet on the bottm to level it! (it's sad what i get excited about)

You're not kidding. We've been looking for some time now at the multitude of options and, frankly, have been appalled and amazed at the quality of some larders/wardrobes out there - particularly when it comes to the shelving.

During our search what has become clear is that the best units, without exception, in terms of apparent quality are those from Outwell.

We opted for their Haiti model:



It is very well made, has the sturdiest of shelves by far (laminated and edged), uses quality fabric and has lightweight poles. It erects quickly/easy too which appears to be something of rarity based on reports from those with other makes.

Top marks from us.

Mathew

We're trying a novel approach for our next trips....we've bought three of these Ikea recycling boxes

What I disliked about a stack of plastic boxes was the rooting through the boxes and having to lift boxes off each other to find what I was looking for.

We use a plastic stack of drawers for cutlery, crockery, utensils and associated "stuff" and that works really well if you have space for it (which we do now).

We then carry a basics food bag in a coolbag which works OK but we then end up with various bags of food lurking around the tent which irritate me....so we're going to try replacing the basics bag with a box and then having the other two boxes (which stack inside each other to travel) for other food stuffs.   

I'll let you know how it works when we're back in a couple of weeks!

We also bought the Outwell model similar to Matthews but it is a 6 shelf version (Outwell Jamaica) and it has a roll up slat top. The quality is superb and because it is low and long it fits in the Monty6 and we have now been able to get rid of our small table that housed the kettle and toaster. It cost about £60 but it is easy to see that it willlast ages.

Matthew, do you completely dismantle your unit when packing away. Surprisingly we noticed that if you remove the leg uprights then the unit collapses flat and fits the bag perfectly. We then just pop the legs on the top and zip the bag up. It literally makes it a 20 second job to put it together when you need it next.

We do the same Nigel. Despite the instructions not making any mention of it I think that perhaps this is an intended option given the size of the bag - for our model it could have been made fractionally smaller if it were dismantled completely each time.

Love the look of the outwell one. We have a Montty 6 so it sounds like it will fit in no problem.

I a determined this summer to try and keep the tent as uncluttered (is that a word?)as possible....and i havn't got anything new for ages.

Handy tip on packing it away aswell.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try this with my towsure one and see if it still fits in the bag.
