Murphy bed/dinette

Not sure if anyone has seen one of these but I thought it was a great idea. The dinette table is attached to the "Murphy bed".
When used as a bed, the table stores upside down inbetween the benches and the bed (that black thing) serves as the bed area across the benches.

You see the upright position in this photo:

Thought it would work great in a small TTT.

Bev,

I saw a California King sized Murphy bed in a home built trailer a few weeks ago, and the table was attached to the bed base like in your picture. The trailer was built on a pop-up trailer frame, not too well designed or built. lots of 2 X 4's and exterior grade plywood. It had tiny windows high up on the walls to make room for the huge bed. The guy coulda used some plans.
