Outside Table

Postby jje507 » Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:21 pm

Hey everyone,
I'm wanting to attach a portable table to the side of my Tear and I've seen a lot of great pictures of different tables, but not of how they are attached. My question is, what is the best way to do this that still looks good when the table is not being used?

table-mounts

These look like they would be easy to attach to the rear side of the teardrop , if that's what your looking for . I'm thinking of at least putting the support blocks inside the wall incase I add them later.

I also am thinking of slide out or lift up table in the galley...

Jeff, If you are looking for something like this, I purchased it from Black Widow Storage Systems. Two clips are permanently attached to the trailer and the leg is adjustable. It's just a matter of clipping in and lowering the leg to suit.

I've seen these used.

or this one is the one I used. It's not pretty but works good.

table clips

yeah, that reddenmarine one is similar to the link i posted...

I like that because it would be pretty flat / not sticking out on the side of the trailer and more inconspicous (sp?)

I used the bracket from tj trailers because it mounts on the edge of the table and is the same thickness as the table (1/2"). That way I could use the cover of the footwell as a table as well as have a place to stow it. But, it probably isn't as clean a look as the other kind. I put brackets on both sides of the trailer so I'll never have the table next to a sewer hookup again. :fb

jeff, i purchased a table bracket from a rv parts supplier. one screws to the td and the other to the table. you hold the the table up and put it in the bracket and set it down. i let mine rest on the top of the fender. that way i don't have to worry with a leg. the table bracket on the trailer does not look bad.
