Awning Kitchen stand
After a 2nd trip away with the tintent the wife has decided that there is not enough work space in the kitchen area of the van, the hob is only big enough for tiny pans and the oven is on the small size. So she has been asking what can be done about this, my recent comment of " Do not bring so much crap with you" was not construed as being helpful. She has a slow cooker, an induction hob, air fryer, electric kettle and toaster in the van we're not parked up on the side of the road selling greasy spoon grub so I don't know why she needs all the extras. So I could do with some advice on a portable work stand/shelf to store all the extras she needs in the awning.
Any ideas on whats out there and what other folk are using (if they're using one) would be great. My requirements are :
It must be light and fold-able as she is using up as much payload as possible.

Hi and thanks for all the replies
Spoke to the wife and as usual " its not what I want" So as we've been away for 2 weeks I went to the Range in Ayr and they had some light weight folding tables for £20 so I got 2 0f them which weighed less than my spare table from an older caravan (I managed to give the old one away to another caravaner whilst on site ) You can just see them in the back ground behind the wife and at the back with the induction hob on it.
quite sturdy for a light weight table and nice height to eat at.D4 GS let the retro fit begin
