We have a 37 ft toy hauler. When his toys come out....mine get set up. I still iron on the table in living /dining area. When we are on the road, the diamond travels in the truck. The mat, iron and all the equipment is just a little smaller then at home. I stash things under the bed and in bins when not using them. We spend time in some places that are just made for vegging out....I really like making tops when we are there. Never set the table up outside. Sounds like a good way to meet other quilters. Will have to try it! Enjoy your travels!
