Looks great and love the colour! No-ones asked yet... do you have a big car? With all our other kit there just wouldn't be room in our car! But it does look fab and very organised...just what I like!

We have a Vauxhall insignia sport tourer we just fold the back seats down and it fits in fine along with other bits we take , must admit was'nt keen on the idea due to the size but hubby was adamant to make it and after using it I have to admit that it works fab and saves so much time unpacking and packing but like said you do need to have room to transport it .
That looks so smart and, as said above, yes it is big but better than an ill-matched assortment of stands and boxes that don't do what your elegant solution does so well. But, you do need a bit of space to transport and store.
It's reminded me of the 'camp kitchen' my Dad built which acted as a top to the trailer when travelling; taken off, and with shelves re-slotted in, it became shelves for storage of food and cooking equipment. Functinal but not as beautifully designed as yours. It makes me wonder why manufacturers haven't produced something like this in lightweight materials ... maybe watch this space and ask for royalties!

My Dad did the exactly the same with our trailer. I wonder if we ever camped near each other at one time and either of our Dads copied the others great idea?
I can imagine the conversation: "Oooh, look at what they have - how clever. I want one. I wonder if I could make something similar... (cue paper and pencil and much scratching of bald head). There, that's it. I'll make it for next year."
Ours was painted bright pale turquoise on the outside, plain plywood on the inside. It eventually rotted, along with the second-hand trailer. I think my sister still has the folding cooker stand with metal windshield and screw-on wooden legs that Dad also made for the Tilley Titan cooker in bright red. Ah, memories.
