We started off the the folding table and attached chair combination, but found the cheaper ones broke. Finally bought an aluminium one which is nice and light, but does take up a bit of space when opened. The problem with these we found is that my middle age spread takes a little more room than what is available
seat wise! Not only that, but I found them difficult to slide into the camper trailer, being down on the knees etc. Eventually we have a round folding one from Coleman, which the wife absolutely loves - small, compact and light. Food preparation is done using the trailer kitchen, so the only table we need is a "sit around" to eat from (unless it's around the
camp fire). Works a treat with the folding chairs and we are not doubling up on seating with the all in one combo. If we are in place for any length of time, it's a
good spot to rest the cuppa and the book/maps and have a sandwich, and is easy to move in/out of sun depending on the mood.
Cheers,
Michael

Just bought the $149 Camping Kitchen from Kmart in their current catalogue , Jackeroo. It is all Stainless with sink, pump tap, fold out sections, lantern holder, chopping board etc etc, it really is
well thought out. It packs away at around 15-18KG in a carry bag which is supplied. I haven't used it yet, however laid it out and had a good look, great value.

I just read the overview article on camping tables & noticed one denoted a fish filleting table.
My comment was it seemed so low that the guy demonstrating it was bent almost double and would have developed a hell of a sore back quick smart!
A mate of
mine scavenges ironing tables from hard rubbish collections & uses them.
Has a mesh top and can adjust to a height to suit your build.
Consigns it to the dump when it rusts out and pulls another one from his shed when needed.
A good ergonomic solution and helps with recycling!
Regards
John
