We are planning an extended camping holiday this summer in Northern Europe / Scandinavia. We are in the process of refining our kit so that repeated pitching / striking camp doesn't become a massive pain in the arse.
Step one was the purchase of a quechua pop up tent which was road tested successfully this weekend
Step 2 is where hopefully you can help. I'm looking for portable storage for our kitchen stuff so that we can lift out of our car ready to go. And I'm not sure that what I want actually exists.
One option is a plastic crate, like these really useful boxes. www.reallyusefulstorageboxes.co.uk/Mobile/MBSCCatalog.asp?gclid=Cj0KEQjwmpW6BRCf5sXp59%5FU%5FssBEiQAGCV9GsvzWXvFlDP7ACo52tJZK4SueBDsLASfA6bvBoRGXsoaAq5w8P8HAQ. Would be perfect to keep everything together for transport and easy to get in and out of the car but I could see it being a bit of a rummage to find what we're looking for, especially for the smaller bits and pieces. They do plastic inserts for the boxes which I'd thought would get round this but don't seem to do them for the larger boxes that we'd need.
Another option would be to buy a smaller camping cupboard, like this one or similar: m.gooutdoors.co.uk/hi-gear-elite-concertina-cupboard-p194381 Which would be great to keep everything organised but I'm worried it would be difficult to lift in and out of the car and wouldn't be robust enough to transport stuff (this looked to be one of the more robust ones I've found).
Basically the convenience of the cupboard but the strength of the crate would be ideal.
Any suggestions / comments will be very gratefully received!
