This must have been discussed before but I can't find anything. 

 

We are looking for suggestions and recommendations for a camping, outdoor type table that rolls up.  I know there are a lot of them and the last one we had really wasn't up to the task. The slats and how they attached lasted about 3 days.

 

We'll use it for meal preps, etc. when there aren't tables nearby.

 

Thanks.

 

Kevin

I have two, one by Crazy Creek and one by Camptime.  The Crazy Creek is an aluminum table and resistant to heat but takes some maintenance every now and then to realign the slats.  The Roll-a-Table from Camptime is vinyl covered wood but the top isn't resistant to heat so need to be a bit careful sometimes with pots/pans/stoves/grills but overall a good product.

I've seen some photos of people mounting a bigger, nice table to the underside of the over-cab portion of the camper, in the gap b/w the overcab and the roof of the truck.  Seems like a neat idea.   We have had two of the small cheapy tables and find them frustrating to use.

I have a couple of different sizes of Alps Mountaineering tables and they have held up well.

I have a rebranded camp kitchen that is fairly heavy and fits in a large bag. Recently I picked up an adjustable height table from Lifetime that was purchased at Costco. I know you asked about the roll up type but for simplicity and durability this has replaced my fancy camp kitchen. It is lighter in weight too.

You can see it here under my tarp awning.

I have two, one by Crazy Creek and one by Camptime.  

 

Another vote for the roll-a-table by Camptime.  We've used ours for five years and it does the job.

I often set up the Webber Q on one end, which leaves plenty of room for other food prep.

We have one similar to the Alps but it has adjustable legs for different heights. I think we bought it at Costco, or maybe Walmart. It fits in a bag and works well for us. It has a lot of table top space for cooking and prep.

We have 2 ALPS - very happy with them.  Light weight and durable.

x2 on the ALPS.  We have the Guide Table and is has worked great for us for a few years.  Adjustable height but we've never changed it.
