Laura - take a gander at these tables. They were just ordered and will give you a review as soon as we get them - next couple days according to UPS?

And my hat is off to you Laura for your rebuild of the popup. Looking at some of the conditions I would have been dropping that item off at the landfill. My compliments to you!

Love your Golden Retriever - they are marvelous animals. We now have a full sized red Doberman but did not have the ears clipped - it is so cruel - so the dog has a much softer, gentler animal look about him. People actually approach without fear until they hear the word Doberman but by then Prince Redford has licked them and made friends. They are extremly bright animals - sometimes I think smarter than my 5 kids!

I have almost given up on the kitchen centers competely. Donated my big one last year to the Eastern rally silent auction, still have my first one, from alumnalite. cannot get it wet because the aluminum is supported by masonite.
I have my Kmart one that is the smaller and less appointed version of the Cabellas one, and presently I use my picnic table and bought a camper pal. It clamps on to the campsite picnic table, has a place for a lantern, paper towel, condiment basket AND a place to tie on a garbage bag.  All for around $15.00.  The camp kitchens for the most part are too short for me too. I carry a fold in half plastic table I think it is one of the 4' ones, though I do not use it often, BUT it is there if I need it.

ScouterMom,

I agree with you about table height and I am a good deal shorter than you are!  Most picnic tables are very low for some reason, not good for cooking.  The grill stand from Kmart (and the same one from Cabella's) is 32" inches high, a regular counter is 36.  This is the tallest "camping kitchen" I have every found which is why I bought it (got mine at Kmart).  It makes things a lot easier as it is much taller than most folding tables.

My wife got one for me from cabellas a few years back.  Its not quite as fancy as the new ones.  It has a central table that can hold a camp stove and a rack for hanging cook tools.  It also has two lower sides which we only use one as it becomes way two big with both sides set up.  We find it fabulous, and use it even on short weekend trips.  It stows nicely in the front truck of our Coleman cheyenne.  We also get quite a few inquires while we're camping.

Here is our setup in 2 attached pics. We picked up the kitchen at a K-mart closeout years ago when our local K-mart closed. It was 1/3 the price of the identical one from L.L. Bean at the time. It is heavy, but we often dry camp for up to 2 weeks at a time and it really makes life easy. We keep the picnic table outside and use the little rollup table and 2 to 4 small chairs.

Back in my tent camping days I used mine and fellow campers were in love with it (some even got one).  We did 2 week family reunion camping trips, and that kitchen was a luxury.  Still have it.

We have been looking at getting some sort of "extra" table to use with getting our meals prepared.
We looked at a couple of different ones and finally decieded on the Coleman Pack-Away Kitchen.
got it for $65 or so and it works great.  It is very sturdy and comes with a three year warrenty so you really can't beat it.
