Camping tips?

prepare4tr

My mum and dad are going camping this weekend for two nights. It's my mum's first time, and I don't think my dad's been in over 20 years. Does anyone have any last minute advice I can give them, things to take, things to do, etc so that they'll think I'm a genius, and also so they don't come home early and ruin my plans.

If it makes a difference, they're going on a camp site with toilet facilities etc on site. And they're taking the dog with them.

what type of van has a table and a bench that folds into a bed?

robert

i thought it was called a turtle top, but i guess i was wrong.

Answer
There are a whole bunch of van conversions that have tables that turn into a bed. In my opinion I think that Lazy Daze Van and RV conversions are the best. You can sleep two people on there table/bed and be real comfortable.

A table saw kit where you use a portable circular saw upside down?

I've searched everywhere, Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ebay, Craigslist, and I can't find what I am looking for. Does anyone know a brand name or a website that sells a folding table that has a slot for a blade and all you do is take your portable circular saw and clamp it to the bottom, and you have a table saw! My farther-in-law owns one and he bought his at Kmart at least a decade or so ago for $50.00. I've been searching and searching and I don't know what you would call it or where to buy one. It would be a great tool to have. So any links or idea of what its technical name would be or if you have one to sell, please, you help would be appreciated! Thanks!
(And please don't answer, Ebay or anything like that, if your read my question, I have already looked)

Answer
I don't think they make those anymore because they were dangerous, since the under mounted circular saw would loosen up from the underside mount. A portable bench saw is more or less the modern version of this idea, a circular saw mounted under a small table, but mounted in a more secure mount. If you need more table space you could buy portable table extensions for the a portable bench saw .

Or you could try the newer versions of this that concept with the skil-xbench .
