Demountable camper group

I'm off the the camper show at the NEC on Friday 26th.

Does anyone know if there are any demountable suppliers or accessory sellers tending the show?

Failing that, who are the best suppliers for general camping bits and bobs.

I'm worried that the feet on my Northstar look at bit small and might sink into muddy ground. I know I can make oder feet to make the footprint bigger but I would prefer something which is lighter and easier to clean.

Black Countrywoman has to go to work so it will just be me, my wallet and credit card attending

We got four round plastic chopping boards from Tesco or some other supermarket. They work a treat on soft ground and are light and wipe clean.

Why pay top dollar for Fiamma fashion item when a board or piece of wood is fine

Agree wood works well, I use checked plate under the axle stands I have for extra security under the main body of the camper when in demount
Cheers

30cm square minimum. Even the Fiamma ones will sink on soft grass. Plus the rig can 'walk' off then when demounting. Go with the chopping board or timber options

Thanks for the comments.

From the replies it looks like I'm going to be using wooden boards.

I think I'll go for 25mm marine ply and give it the same treatment as my boat bits - a few coats of epoxy and then marine varnish - to make it last longer and be easier to clean.

I assume that by walk, people mean that the legs slide about on the boards so I'll put some stops to prevent the legs moving about. If the actual boards wander |I could look at putting some studs or something on the bottom.

Please comment if you think I'm skimping at 25mm but I'm concerned about the weight. I know these boards won't weigh that much but it all adds up.

Sounds sufficient, the 'walking' is a reference to dropping camper off but not quite high enough and the pick up lifting a corners as it leaves it (across a bumpy camping pitch)

Camper legs sometimes find themselves an inch off the ground and spring vertical after being dropped a bit askew.
Not a big deal but worth mentioning,
with practise you soon look out for nice flat pitches that behave like your block paving at home

we had some yellow ones (fimma?) and they were slighly cupped i think so the foot sat inside them slightly

We've been using off-cuts of 25mm or 30mm styrofoam for this sort of thing for 20 years or more. It's tough enough that we also use it for chocks for transporting the cabins on a truck or trailer. It weighs nothing, is completely impervious to water and it won't damage anything while being stored. If you have the 4 pieces, all bigger than you need, and cut 2 shorter that the others you can use them as levelling ramps too. The only problem is the wind can blow them away if you're not careful (seriously). Your ply would work perfectly of course but quite frankly 25mm is completely over the top. If using ply I'd also be inclined to paint it with something grippy rather than slippery varnish. If you want to varnish them maybe sprinkle some dry sand on your wet varnish on the top side (to give some friction between leg and pad).

Best wishes

Definately worth considering. I didnt in my last demount and ended up piercing a hole through a friend of mines concrete drive when I was winding it up...

Bits of wood are the future!
