Cooking with Campingaz

New for this year, Campingaz’s lightweight (2.9kg) Bistro Grill (£99.99) is an impressive alternative to the disposable barbecue, with a non-stick coating, grease tray and sizeable 940 sq cm diecast aluminium cooking surface, which is easily removable for washing.

The wok-shaped Campingaz 360 Grill CV (pictured right) has an aluminium diecast reversible ribbed griddle, which can be flipped over for pancakes. The surface can also be removed to expose a pan support for stove cooking. Great on campsites, where you have 360º access, so you can sit around it in campfire style. It’s compact and weighs just 4.4kg, ideal for leisure vehicles, where storage is at a premium.

Finally, the Campingaz Attitude 2Go (£229.99) is a more substantial tabletop barbecue. For those campsite chefs looking to cook more than a few sausages, the lid can be closed so it can be used to roast. It comes with a large thermometer set into the lid. It’s fairly chunky, weighing 13.9kg, but certainly provides more stability. campingaz.co.uk

Cool runnings

Two new refrigeration models from Italian manufacturer Vitrifrigo were among the range of thermostatically controlled 12V/24V DC compressor fridges on show at the Penguin Refrigeration stand.

With a width of just 41.7cm, the SLIM 09i fridge-freezer (£1243.79) is designed for use in panel vans, where space is at a premium. It has a 90-litre capacity and given the unit’s compact size, a relatively large

10-litre freezer.

The low-height C51 (prices from £797.70 to £1180.18) is aimed at small vans, such as the VW Transporter or Ford Transit Custom. It’s a 51-litre 12V (or 24V) DC compressor fridge popular for small camper conversions and suitable for running from solar power.

Rack in black

Touring accessory specialist Fiamma’s latest Pro bike rack is suitable if you don’t have rear windows and you want to spread the load as efficiently as possible. But if you do have a rear window, and you don’t want to block the view, you can fit the Pro C bike rack below the window.

The Pro C (£269.99), which carries two bikes as standard but can support up to four by using an optional upgrade kit, is newly available in a smart black finish.
