The camping table with a difference
The Car Bar was born from being frustrated at the size and faff of typical camping gear. We wanted something that was small enough to leave in the car at all times for those impromptu trips, but practical enough to use for camping. It also needed to be so quick and easy to set up that we’d never put off using it.
How it began
The lightbulb went off when we realised we could use the boot to sit on, removing the need for annoying camping chairs. This meant for those quick trips we always had a table and chairs ready to go! We got to work prototyping and eventually had something we were using regularly.
"Where did you get that?"
We started getting people asking where we got it from when we were using it. Then after posting in a Facebook group the response was amazing with people asking to buy one. Suddenly we had the beginnings of a small business!
The latest version
Since then, we have sold tables in over 15 countries and moved the business from a spare bedroom to a shipping container. The feedback has been amazing, and we’ve continued to develop the product.
The latest version now fits most vehicles.
FAQ
I had been putting off for a few weeks the setting up of the Car Bar.
It wasn’t as quick as the 15mins suggested but I got there after using the written instructions and the video.
It is a great fit on the Toyota Rav 4.
However I am anxious that there is no vertical support - have have kids who may lean on it. It will move if leaned on (as expected) So I attached a removable underneath which makes a solid base - I would recommend the manufacturer consider this as an add on option and develop are more aesthetically pleasing leg support.
The quality is incredible very high standard. The slip resistant finish on work surface is ideal.
Very happy with my purchase.
Well engineered piece of kit. Easy to assemble and install. Not too heavy. Great for a day out
As a Fire Investigator working on scene and out of a van the Car Bar table is amazing! Somewhere to place down camera/technical kit, work on laptop or sit having a coffee whilst musing over 'cause hypothesis'! Tailgate on van protects from weather, Car Bar table provides outdoor office!
(and at the weekend perfect for outdoors, MTB and camping for coffee, picnic table, bike maintenance etc.)!
Fantastic design, high quality and functional. Well done NFG!!
the table is easy to set up very sturdy when fitted to the car i use mine to set up my radio controlled planes up ,down at the flying field . packs away neatly into the car boot without taking to much room up . Also got good customer service form this company all-round very happy with the table . Neil
I ordered it for testing because I liked the idea of using a table for 3 different vehicles. I haven't had it for long, but I don't want to miss it anymore. He makes everyday life easier in so many ways.
Above all, he takes away a place in the car because he hangs behind it. Not only when camping, even if you have long trips, and want to make a fresh coffee or lubricate a loaf of bread at the rest area. The fully packed trunk can stay that way and yet there is space for these little things.
