Camping chairs for heavier people

[andy1972]

Hi Everyone,

Im looking to purchase a whole set up, from aqua rolls, to awning and reading reviews on everything i can.

Im looking for advice on camping chairs for heavier people. My daughter is fine with anything but id like something to carry my 120Kg weight. Ive read a few reviews and got some shortlisted chairs but im looking for suggestions from the people that actually use them long term

We had some for our well built son. I can’t remember the make and tbh it was so long ago that anything I say may not be relevant now. However, where possible trying them out before buying was a good strategy, as they were not all as comfortable as they looked.
My only observation was that they were of necessity wider in the seat and back and therefore some thought about transport and storage was important.

Most camping type chairs have a max weight listed.
If you want quality and durability you can't go wrong with Lafuma, but, like isabella awnings, they dont come cheap.

 

[Woodentop]

Most definitely +1 - and they are darned comfortable as well!

 

[otherclive]

Plus +1 for Lafuma, we have had ours since 2001 and even now they are the go to chairs when we have summer BBQs........ they are even in our Wills, that's how confident we are wrt their longevity

That’s a safe weight limit of 23 1/2 stone. Must be substantial pieces of kit? Will they erode my payload?

Are you giving up on the caravanning, or is it spare items your getting rid of?

Spare that we no longer use as now we normally used fully serviced pitches and the sun canopy. Couple of other bits and pieces accumulated over the years.

Thanks. Im up in Northumberland so may not be practical. One of the dealers said they can put a starter kit in the deal for me so will see what that imcludes

The starter kit is likely to be a bargain price and may include -
towing mirrors, aquaroll, wastemaster, 2-1 waste connector, number plate, battery, hitch lock, wheel clamp, loo fluids, hitch cover, level ramps.....
just referring to the list provided when I bought my caravan - saved about £200 over retail price total!

I hope you get a great deal offered including a warranty and some extras thrown in good luck 🙏

Pretty much all that but not mirrors. Did include gas and bottle and metal steps though.
Just included it all in the screen price

We have a pair of Isabella Thor chairs, haedly been used, been folded up in our conservatory past couple of years , open to offers if anybody can make use of them, one has some sun fading

 

[toad a caravan]

Have you considered the folding chairs as used by anglers,, I've used one in the past it was sturdy at the cost of weight.My cousin has it in the awning,and approx 18st,,loads of pockets in it too

Just an extra regarding Lafuma.

We have chairs dating back maybe over 10 years now. One of the plastic "joints" broke last year - I was "shuffling" the chair forward which was a bit daft!

Anyway Lafuma have a policy that if something can be mended then mend it. They stock a very complete list of spare parts fortheir products. I would suggest that with some manufacturets once broken then tough - buy a new one!

In this day and age I have to applaud their stance.

Since we bought our Lafumas in 2001 the only parts we have bought are new rubber suspension cords. The original ones started to degrade because of UV exposure.

Personally I would avoid all the lightweight chairs and go for an old fashion heavy metal frame

 

[Mr Grumpy]

We have a pair of Isabella chairs which we find very comfortable.
Neither of us are exactly small 😎

Seeing i have been a Angler for some years chairs do come in handy for my sport

 

[toad a caravan]

I sometimes do sea fishing,,the owner of the chair does both course and sea..a chair helps him also has he had polio as a kid,,and that chair is comfy and sturdy
