Nomad LT slide-out kitchen

[gregr]

Have any of you used the Nomad Kitchen LT, or anything similar?

I would love to have a slide-out kitchen area, that can slide out under the Cybertent. And this one has a seemingly cool feature where it can be quickly removed, so you can use your truck bed for things other than camping.

Seems somewhat expensive, especially given it’s evidently made of wood, but reading a couple of reviews it sounds like it’s a nice quality item.

Would love feedback if anyone has used anything like this before!

I’ve been car camping my whole life. That’s 70 years! From the Sahara to the arctic and all places between. I’ve learned that the less things attached to the truck the better. You’d don’t always want your kitchen where your truck is. You don’t necessarily want your sleeping attached to the truck. Maybe you want to drive someplace without taking down your camp each time. You can simply use a couple roll up tables and have your kitchen anywhere. You save lots of money and save utility by staying away from these expensive and bedding consuming accessories. Camping is better where “Less is more”. It’s fun to look at all these “solutions” people will sell you, but the drawbacks of most of these accessories becomes apparent once you’re out in the wilds and you realize there’s less flexibility and more dead weight and lost money.

Consider making your kitchen all electric. It works out well with a single or dual burner induction stove and even a microwave. I bring an Ecoflow Delta 2 along in case my kitchen sets up a distance from where the truck parks.

Thanks for your thoughts! I haven't been camping as long as you , but I think this all depends on _how_ you like to camp. For me, I like to move on to the next place after one night, or sometimes two nights - but I'm rarely hanging out in one spot for longer than that. What matters most to me is ease of setting up and tearing down, and I'm less worried about driving somewhere while having camp setup. I also just like efficiency - if I have a piece of gear that's well designed and just works flawlessly for its purpose, that makes me happy.

I like the tent on the truck, because (perhaps irrationally) I don't want to sleep on or near the ground if I have an alternative. You know, spiders, snakes, scorpions, who knows what else is down there! Lol. So the Cybertent works for what I want at the moment.

I must confess though, what led me to thinking about the slide-out kitchen was my table (https://www.rei.com/product/159024/mountain-summit-gear-heavy-duty-roll-top-table-large), which was taking me like 5 minutes to set up every time. Today I happened to notice in the description of the smaller version that it can be setup in like a minute. I'm like no way...so I watched a few videos, and chatted with chatgpt, and finally figured out the "secret" (which is don't try to open by pulling on diagonal legs, duh). Now I can put it up or tear it down in about a minute, so that's good enough for me!

Yep, I'm all electric - I'm using an induction cooktop.
