OK, this is a non field test since I am not camping at the moment.
My table came on Thursday of this week.
Cabela's Deluxe Roll-Top Tables
I just set this up in my home, and it was pretty straight forward.
I would rather be out camping, but I have other commitments this holiday weekend.
Picture one below shows the nice carrying bag it comes in.
The inside has two compartments.
One for the leg and pole system, the other for the table top.
Picture two below shows the contents.
Not shown is the two piece poles that slide into each other.
These are the braces that go along the length of the table to brace it, and they also snap into the top of the leg system to make the top rigid.
The poles are inside the mess of the leg system.
Picture three below shows the bottom side of the table top with the support bracing poles in place.
Notice the hole in the upper right of the picture on the pole.
This hole snaps into the top of the leg system to prevent the table top from shifting back and forth.
Picture four below shows the leg system.
It is not to stable until you put the table top onto it.
Picture five below shows the end result.
The legs extend around 6" give or take allowing you to either raise it up higher if needed, or to level it out on uneven ground.
I would say you could set this up in a matter of a few minutes with practice.
There are no instructions included, so it took me a few extra moments to conclude what the holes in the support braces were for, as I had not noticed the nubs on top of the leg support system until I was ready to set the table on top.
I will be using this table mostly for camping at "unimproved sites" that are not in a normal campground.
Places such as Greenwater where I go 4wheeling and also have camped there since the mid 80s is a prime example.
Tons of beautiful spots up there by creeks and rivers to camp in, just no picnic tables to set your gear on.
I will still dine with the Cabela's picnic table, but this rolltop table would be used to hold my five gallon water bottle and other stuff.
It seems to be very stable though, and I picked it up and carried it off to the spare bedroom with no problems of it wanting to fall apart.
I think this is going to work out very well for me for self contained camping.
If I get time, I will try and setup my
Cabelas' shower tent this weekend and shoot some pictures of it.
This coming Tuesday my
Kelty Shadehouse 12 will arrive.
Not sure when I will get a chance to set it up.
