Camping hit

I WILL BUY THIS AGAIN SEPTEMBER 2013 UPDATE: I made a 'contact' on the Camp Chef website about the lack of versatility of the telescopic legs (they only have two tiers) and I'm actually really getting one Email that they would forward my inquiries to the engineers. Just take a look. I would still buy this. That is amazing. UPDATE AUGUST 2013: Took this to Yellowstone National Park. Worked fantastic. Aside from that, in YNP you have to "clean everything" when you're not in camp to keep the bears away. My Sherpa easily coped with this task. That being said, CAMPCHEF IF YOU ARE READING THIS REVIEW, make the telescopic legs longer and with more than one position. This would allow for even more alignment. There was no level ground where we camped at YNP. It is constantly uploaded to my mobile storage (minivan). UPDATE: Took this to my Boy Scout outdoor training camp last weekend - it worked great. The other trainees were very interested in my ammunition box. It was raining and I put the sherpa under the shed (because it's cloth). I'm not sure if this will stand up to normal use/abuse by Scouts, but it can definitely handle anything my family can "throw at it". THE GOOD: My son and I put it together in about 15 minutes. We used it in our backyard for a couple of nights (I like to do a "test run" before we go camping). It was wonderful. I was even able to fit my four drawer Coleman oven in it (just open all the shelves - it puts stress on the seams). This is a great way to stay organized. I'm sure I will have many questions about this wonderful product when I come to the camp. THE BAD: I noticed there was a small spot at the top of the seam where the fabric had come loose. However, instead of sending it back (I'm an impatient person), I practiced my camping repair skills and hand-stitched the area with strong thread. then I went over it with a red marker - I forgot until I wrote this review. Again, this is the junction where the front door connects to the main cabinet, which is the stress point. UPDATE AUGUST 2013: I continue to monitor this original stitch and will sew as needed (I'm technically overwhelmed, see above). Adjust the height of each leg by about 1 inch. Ideal for camping-level cooking. Go to the Ace Hardware website and search "Ace® Plastic Furniture Pedestals for Casters of Various Sizes" to see the inserts I put in the bottom of the legs. Then go to the store and find Metal legs that "fit" into furniture bases. .
