I am not tall by any means, and I have bought two tables to take on my camping expeditions... the trouble is that they seem so low!

 

I came home from the last trip and my back was crippling me because I had spent so long stooping. Does anyone have any suggestions for a taller table please? Any recommendations?

Do you mean for food prep ?

Unfortunately that's two conflicting requirements unless your table is adjustable or you take bar stools.

I had plans to do something with adjustable trestles, but I ended up buying a towsure larder unit with a worktop.
It isn't very solid though ....

My "homepage" is my artist's impression of the ergonomics ...

Actually, thinking about it, what i need is one of those "kitchen sink" units for outside - set at a working height ...

Yes, I do mean for food prep. I have seats that fit around the tables that I have already bought, but I could really do with something taller.

I'm over 6 foot 2, so everything in my house is set extra high.

As soon as my Towsure table arrived I started seeing if I could make it smaller in area, but taller ...

The larder unit will be fine for chopping things on, once I've braced it a bit.

If I was doing serious cooking I would definitely be taking a sink and drainer and a fairly stable frame - it would doubtless cause much jollity for other drivers seeing it strapped on the roofrack.

We have one of these for food prep and cooking as OH tends to cook and he is 6ft 2 and struggled with cheap camping tables.

They aren't cheap but ours is really robust and does the job well.
