When the day has been long, the spot is uneven and hunger is pressing, small things suddenly work like big levers. Front Runner Dometic has been building parts that help in exactly these moments for years. Rugged, well thought-out, fit for everyday use. We present three products that show their effect at camp straight away.
Camping cutlery set, calm in the vehicle, calm in your head
What’s more annoying on a trip than an off-roader that rattles? That one noise somewhere behind you that immediately makes you wonder whether something on the car is breaking right now. And if not, what on earth is clattering so loudly. Moments exactly like these often come from small bits lying around loose in the vehicle. Cutlery in some drawer or other is right at the top of the list there. The camping cutlery set from Front Runner Dometic solves the problem in the most relaxed way. Everything has its place, nothing rattles in the car, and when you want to cook, you simply hang up the bag, take out what you need and later roll everything neatly back in.
The set brings everything along: 4 serrated knives, 4 steak forks, 4 dessert and tea spoons, a complete package of kitchen knives, serving spoons, spatula, tongs, very importantly a bottle opener with corkscrew and a chopping board.
The handles are riveted, the blades of rugged stainless steel, resistant to rust and moisture. You can feel at the first cut that this is no toy. After the meal, all the parts go back into the roll-up bag, in which straps and closures provide a secure hold. Once stowed, everything stays where it should, no matter how rough the route gets.
Knife set, because cooking outdoors is allowed to be stylish too
Anyone who cooks on the road quickly notices how much easier everything becomes when the knives cut reliably. No tugging at raw meat, no squashed tomatoes, no risk of injury with hard vegetables. Just working quickly and cleanly, without stress. The knife set from Front Runner Dometic consists of two knives for different tasks, a large folding chopping board and an integrated knife sharpener. And the complete set looks so classy, as if the head chef had personally gone away and taken his knives with him.
The chopping board, in which the knives are protected during transport, offers plenty of room to cut when opened out. No wobbling, no slipping. It closes magnetically so the knives stay safely stowed, and afterwards goes into the canvas bag that lies neatly in the vehicle.
Slicing, chopping, peeling, with the classy knife set from Front Runner Dometic everything comes easily. On top of that it feels like a small piece of comfort that you often underestimate on the road. Above all when it’s raining and you’re glad that at least the kitchen works reliably.
Wolf Pack Pro, for order inside and out
Storage in the off-roader is a chapter of its own. Everyone knows it: you’re looking for something that’s right at the bottom. You pull and tug and in the end you clear out the whole car to get to it. Anyone who structures and sorts their gear by a sensible system doesn’t have to search for long. Transport and storage boxes like the Wolf Pack Pro are especially helpful here.
The box is made of impact-resistant black plastic. The lid gets enormous stiffness from the honeycomb structure. The Wolf Pack Pro is dust- and water-repellent too. The aluminium closures shut snugly and the side handles sit well in the hand, even when everything is covered in mud. Thanks to the recesses, you can fix the box perfectly to a roof rack with tie-down straps. Anyone who wants to stay flexible is best off using the Stratchits straight away. Anyone who needs more room reaches for the Wolf Pack Pro with a high lid, which offers an additional 60 mm of height.
A nice bonus: the BBQ grill, or rather the fire pit from Front Runner Dometic, fits exactly inside. When you break camp after the last evening but the grill isn’t yet spotless, you simply put it in the box once cooled and transport it cleanly in the vehicle. For many that’s a small detail. In practice it makes a big difference.
