Has anyone built one of Mother Earth's Consolidated Campers? We bought the plans on sale for about $5.00 so no great lose if we don't build it but it is built on a small frame (40 x 48 inches) and has tent storage and other small storage areas with a back door that lifts, almost like a teardrop, with shelf, drawers and a insulated cold box. Right now we are trying to price the materials to see if it is something we want to do - materials are so expensive these days but would be nice to have all the gear in one place instead of 2 or 3 different areas (where ever there is space to stash something).

A google search for "Mother Earth's Consolidated Campers" turned up nothing but this thread. Maybe you could post a link?

I hope this link will work: https://www.motherearthnews.com/shopping - I couldn't get it to the exact item number for some reason but it is in the hard copy plans that they sell on the website and they do show sort of a picture of it and describe it. Cathy

Yes, that is the one and I would love to see pictures of the one that was enlarged. We were considering building something like a teardrop until gas went up, up and away out of line. Our tent is nearly new and we have all kinds of stuff but being in our mid-50's tenting will be enough challenge at this point so a little organization would go a long way I think. Thanks, Cathy

My camp kitchen is a 4x10 ft loafing shed - what we call them here is three sided with a roof - mostly used for animal shelters. Works pretty good for me and keeps the critters outta the tents.
