Would you carry a second table for outside, or make the dinette table removable?
My wife and I are looking at used camper vans for weekend trips, and the one at the top of our list has a small fixed dinette. It’s enough for two people inside, but we’d probably cook and eat outdoors whenever the weather allows. All though I already have a musso d7 table for my daughter. She didn’t take it to school, so it has been folded up in our spare room ever since. Now, I am wondering if it could become the extra table for the van instead of buying another piece of camping gear. I wouldn’t put a hot stove directly on it as that would mostly be for food prep, plates and occasionally a laptop. The two things giving me pause are the small casters on gravel and finding a secure place for it while driving. The alternative would be making the existing dinette top removable and adding folding legs, but taking the inside table apart every time we eat outdoors also sounds annoying. For those who usually eat outside, which setup became less trouble after a few trips?
