Over the years, I rarely ever use the campsite's picnic table for eating. I just don't find them convenient to use. I generally eat inside the RV on my own dinette table. I do have a picnic table cover, but I don't like to be harassed by bugs if eating outdoors, so I don't.
Considering an article posted at RV Life, it is a good thing that I don't use the campsite's picnic table for dining. A big yuck is my reaction!
The article begins with:
If you’ve RVed for a while, you likely understand the importance of a picnic table cover.
Almost all of the campground picnic tables we’ve seen are made from wood. Wood is porous. That means whatever the last RVer placed on what is now your table has likely penetrated the surface, deposited germs, and/or holds the potential for ruining your camping experience.
If you enjoy eating your meals at your RV site’s picnic table, you need to get a table cover!
They put what on the table?!
While traveling, we’ve seen many things I wish I could unsee. Here are just a few situations where RVers used their picnic table with little consideration for the next camper:
• Mom changing her toddler’s diaper on the table
• Happy anglers cleaning their morning’s catch
• Muddy hiking boots left to dry
• A departing RVer who forgot her dog’s poop bag on the table
• DIYer cleaning his RV wheel bearings at the table
• A camper’s dog atop the table while bathed and brushed
• Nasty words carved into the table
• A smoker using the table to put out his cigarette
• And, yes, an RVer drying his sewer hose atop the picnic table
