Yesterday I saw this and decided it was such a bargain I had to order one (now out of stock, sorry). Have decided it will be useful for dragging all the sleeping gear and lightweight stuff to the car for packing on the roof and will put the tables, heater and heavier gear in it in the back of the car for travelling (although will remove them before removing from the car). Then while camping it will be stored in the bedroom area and have all the holdalls of clothes AND double up as a bedside table.

I didn't know I needed it until I saw it for £17

It doesnt seem to get very good reviews, I hope you have better luck than some of the other people who bought it. If it does turn out to be rubbish, costco do a similar one (if you can get to one). Dont know how much it is anymore, but we have one holding all our camping gear. Its very sturdy as well and was quite easy to build. Doesnt have wheels though.

The nearest costco is over 50 miles away and I've never been there! Although I really need the wheels for it to be viable as we don't have a drive just a residential carpark. I had read the reviews and figured so long as we're gentle with it there shouldn't be a problem, hence only pulling along with bulky but lightweight stuff. 'Local' tesco is 15 miles away so I'll collect it on thursday when I need to go into town will update on build quality then.

Hello,

Just as a suggestion you could use the extra space for something else. Pound stretcher do some big vacuum pack bags for a fiver, if you take an air bed camping you can use the pump to vacuum the bags when packing up it saves massive room in the car, whilst being protected.

Means you could use the extra stuff in that box for something else freeing up some comfort space.

Thanks
