Equipment - must have / useful / can't do without items

Some fantastic suggestions here.

A cadac is definitely on the cards at some point.

the Aeropress look good too
 
If your like a lot of us you will buy things that you think will be handy and gradually realise you are carrying stuff you never use, When all cupboards and draws are full you then start to remove things that just sit there. My advise is to go easy at first and after a few trips you will know what you really need.

I had a jet boil And even though it boils incredibly fast you’re still limited to only having one cup unless you take another one which sort of misses the point of having a small system, plus the I couldn’t get the stains out of it and it can’t go in the dishwasher. I’ve since bought Stanley cook Set from Amazon and can thoroughly recommend it. I’ve made a little kit up similar to the one in the video and I it definition works well For me and takes up virtually no space and being stainless steel is dishwasher safe.

 
Does anyone use a free standing camping table in their van? I'm thinking of a collapsible camping table which can be used either in the van or outside. Ideally it would be big enough (area) so it can be used by 2 on the rear seats and 2 on the front swivel bench seat at the same time to eat from.
Or is there another solution I have not even considered yet???

Hi ...Not got what your after but I’ve seen a rail system that attached to the side of the vehicle and you can hang a table from it..if that helps

it really depends on how your camper is configured. There's only two of us and we usually eat at a table in the awning but, for colder weather, I was actually thinking about adding another smaller table with another rail above the fridge (in more or less the same place as indicated by VanDamMan above). If you can source a matching piece of material for the table top itself, the rail and leg are really quite cheap to buy. That way, one of us can sit on the swivelled bench as we prefer opposite rather than side by side. Don't see why it shouldn't sit two at a pinch. I've thought of doing it that way as I'm not really a fan of those little swivel tables that sit by the front door.

PS. I'm tight and couldn't quite bring myself to pay the price asked for the Loc8 used by CGT!
