Tha case makes carrying the griddle much easier. I was using the box the griddle came in. Have not actually takin it camping yet. The case arrived after my last trip. The griddle worked great. I am able to get every thing in the case including the regulator and an extra hose for a portable tank. It is much more compact than the box and fits in my class B motor home which has limited storage space. Seems to be well made and durable. I would recommend this case. Worth the money.
