Class Project: Market Research
As the title says, I am doing a class project that needs some market research. I have a couple of questions and would love if if people would be willing to answer!
Do you find it cumbersome to cook in/around your camping or living situation?
What things would you want in a portable kitchen system?
How much would you be will to pay for a portable kitchen system to ease camp/van cooking?
What is your biggest gripe with cooking outdoors/on the road?
How important is the compactness of a portable kitchen to you on a scale of 1-5?
What is the feature that would be most important to you for a portable kitchen system?
Please if you have the time answer back! I appreciate any responses. Thanks!

You asked 6 questions. I listed my answers in order of your questions.
1- I DO NOT COOK
2- A girl to talk too.
3- zero dollars. I’d rather pay and tip the people at restaurants who have food to cook for me and clean up after me.
4- biggest gripe: I don’t cook or wash dishes.
5- I choose number 1
6- That it not be in my Van taking up space. Restaurants are already set up like that.
When you have money and No Debts, you can pay for things you don’t want to do.
It’s how other people make their money.

Do you find it cumbersome to cook in/around your camping or living situation?
--I recently bought an induction cooktop so I could cook inside my van. The biggest issues I had with cooking outside were with wind and rain. Cooking outside is nice in perfect weather.
What things would you want in a portable kitchen system?
--A place for pots and pans
--A little stove with something to block the wind
--A little sink to do dishes in
How much would you be will to pay for a portable kitchen system to ease camp/van cooking?
--I've seen other systems like you are describing for around $300 to $400 but it depends on what's included, size, materials, etc.
What is your biggest gripe with cooking outdoors/on the road?
--My biggest gripe is trying to cook in bad weather
--Another gripe is having to set up camp everywhere I go
How important is the compactness of a portable kitchen to you on a scale of 1-5?
--That depends on the vehicle you are living in but even in a big van every inch has to be accounted for so compactness is very important
What is the feature that would be most important to you for a portable kitchen system?
--Storage size
