Hi All,

I've seen this online at Argos - Royal Easy Up Folding Kitchen (you can get it delivered to your local store for free).

RRP - £51.05 - Sale - £36.97.

We still need a camping kitchen stand, and this like it would do the job nicely.

However, we have a Carolina M tent (with no canopy/porch/extension) and I don't fancy cooking on a gas stove inside the main tent. Do you think it is easy enough to pick up (with 2 people) and take outside when we want to use it? Or will it likely come apart each time...

Also need to measure the pack size as I only have a VW Golf (1998) to transport everything.

Thanks,
Amnesia

Thanks, just tried reserving it said can order to store as not in stock but at the end sent an email thanking me for reservation but its out of stock and no reservation number nor has one been text? I thought it usually gave you one even if it was being ordered in.

I'm not sure why that has happened. I haven't tried reserving it yet though because I want to know how easy it is to move outside.

I don't know if that is the done thing? Do you take the cooking equipment out? Or leave it in the tent with these type of camping kitchens?

Well mine will be going in a pop up gazebo on the front of my new 4.2xl with the table etc.

I phoned Argos, said if it doesnt give you a reservation number ot means they are out of stock. Will try again in a day or 2 cos she said they might get more in.

The pack size is the same as the surface area on the top (the side brackets fold in on themselves) by about 6 inch thick

Once you open the legs there are 2 velcro straps that pull together underneath and latch through to hold the shape

To move it round is fine if it is relatively empty, but fully loaded may be a struggle, you would need one person either side, holding the brackets open to ensure it kept its shape

Good unit though, really pleased with it

I have been trying to get one for almost a week. Called Argos customer services earlier but they are completely out of stock and as of lunchtime today had no date for a new delivery.

Hi Amnesia
We bought one last year, although not made by royal but identical, and its great wouldnt leave home without it. They seem to be a ubiquitous design as I noticed both outwell and vango are selling very similar ones
