- [Lauren] Hi folks, it's Lauren from Snowys here
with the Darche Traka 1800 camp table.
It's fairly lightweight and super compact for its size.
Its smooth, easy, clean finish
and it's also heat resistant.
So your table will come
in these heavy duty polyester carry bag.
You've got some webbing straps here that are reinforced
at the stress points
that reduces the amount of failure in these.
Your pack dimensions are about 70 centimetres
across this way.
You've got 60 centimetres this way
and around about 11 centimetres thick.
The table also weighs just under 11 kilos
which may sound heavy,
but for the actual size of it, it's quite light.
So we're on the, your bag here
and we'll take a look at the table.
So we've got this really heavy duty carrying strap here.
In all of my tables that I've got
at home that have a carrying strap,
they've made a fabric and they failed a long time ago
but this one's a nice thick, rigid plastic
which is pot riveted into place with these metal brackets.
So there's really no sense of this failing
or going anywhere any time soon.
Now down the side here, we have these little swing hooks
which are locking the table all together
which will open these ones up here,
on the other side,
unlock that one
and then we will turn the table,
we'll it lie down flat first
and then we'll open up the table into the sections here.
So, before we get the legs into place,
the first thing we're going to do is
swing these little locking pins over
and there should be four of these here
on either side of the table.
And then we've got two at the back here.
So now once your locking pins are in place
I like to pull the table up onto its side
and then we'll pull or set the legs up here.
So grabbing the U shaped bar
we're gonna pull these legs out, flip the U shape bar over
and pop them into your C clips here,
and we'll do exactly the same thing on the other side.
Pull the legs out
put them over and lock them in.
Now the nifty thing that I like about the Traka
is even though the legs aren't adjustable per say,
you can actually stop with your set up here
and simply use the table at this coffee table height
which is around about 38 centimetres tall.
If you are wanting to set the table up
as a full height table,
we just need to remove
these four lower legs
from the base here.
Now, whilst I'm doing that
we'll have a look on their end here.
We've got these little plastic knobs
or plastic feet on the legs
and each of them
have this little screw thread on there.
So you can actually unscrew each of the set
and adjust them all to varying lengths or heights.
So it's perfect for rocky or uneven ground when you're
out camping to make sure you've got a nice level table.
Each of these little legs has got
a metal locking pin
that will just slide into
these main legs here
and lock them into place.
Now once your legs are in place
we'll just flip the table over.
It can be a little bit awkward,
so it's best that you maybe have two pairs of hands,
but if it's just the one of you
grabbing the outer section on each side,
will help make sure it's not swinging in.
Even though these locking pins are done up,
I think it's just a design with the hinge
or somehow the way that the hinge
and the locking pins interact.
It means that the table still can bend in a little bit.
So am just gonna get this
up and over
Right, there we have it.
The Traka 1800 is all set up.
So the measurements that we're looking at here
is about 1800 long or 1.8 metres as long.
You got about 70 centimetres wide
and we're also sitting about 70 centimetres
up from the ground here.
Now the frame itself is a powder-coated steel,
and the table top here is a nice, lightweight, thin alloy.
It's really smooth and easy to clean.
It's also heat resistant, which means that
while she might not be able to get away with putting a
fresh pot straight off the stove or a camp oven on the table
you definitely can get away with putting a camp stove
or a hot tub water, anything like that.
The edges here are also a nice light aluminium alloy
which means that the table is gonna be a lot resistant
to chipping or any bumps or dents.
Now don't you go and provide a load rating capacity
for this table.
So we're not a hundred percent sure exactly
how much gear you can put on it
but just leaning on it a fair bit here.
I'm putting a lot of weight onto it.
I can feel that the legs are sliding out
or splaying a little bit.
I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we're on
a smooth concrete floor,
but if you're out camping on turf
or gravel or dirt, things like that
I don't think you can have as much of an issue.
There's also a little bit of bowing
in each of the tabletop sections here,
but I think you would be fine to put like
a heavy stove and be cooking on it.
Even a huge big dish tub full of water,
loaded up with your plates,
drink bottles, food, things like that.
I think you'll be absolutely fine.
In terms of stability, giving it a bit of a shake here
the table frame itself and the tabletop doesn't move it.
It's sliding around on the floor here, but it's not.
Yeah, the table itself doesn't have any sort of,
it's not really wobbling or twisting or anything.
It's very, very sturdy.
So I'm going to show you how to pack up your table.
So first things first,
we're gonna flip it over onto its side
and we'll remove the extended leg parts here,
Slip them into their story spots.
Right, we're gonna undo the clips on the end
this U bar
and pop the leg in place.
We'll do the same on the other side.
Now from here, I'm gonna lay the table flat
and I'm going to undo these locking pins.
This long one here.
And this long one here.
Right, now on one of the segments of the table
you will see this little black rubber bumper stopper.
I am not a hundred percent sure what exactly this is for
but when you're folding the tabletop up
you'll see that putting this side down first
trying to bring up this other section
that little rubber bumper is going to hit into these legs
and stop you from being able to fold any further.
So I'm thinking maybe it might be a little
safety buffer to stop you from putting additional stress
on the table by folding it up incorrectly.
So the first side you're gonna fold through
is the one with the handle edge.
Now that one's gonna lay flat on the base here
and you'll see as we fold this one over
there's a nice gap here between those two sides.
So across on the other end here
your little handle will pop out between the outer layers.
So once your table's folded up,
we've got these locking pins here
to keep them together in transit.
And we've got another one on the other side here
and then we'll pop the storage bag on.
So when you stop popping the storage bag on
it's quite a snug fit.
So I actually like to put the table
upside down first
with the handle facing the ground
and then we'll grab the storage bag
and we'll pull it over the top here
and it should just slide on over the table
without too much hassle
and get into place.
Perfect.
Flip it over,
and we'll pop up the zips.

And there we have it
for the Darche Traka 1800 camp table.
It's a really awesome, huge size table.
Great for family camping or large groups.
And as you can see super compact for its size.
