Paul, this what we used... http://www.tjtrailers.com/store/table-support.html ...there are other types out there as well...we cut this bracket into 3 10" pieces and placed it 3 different places on the trailer, we built two tables 16x30 ins and this gave us options on where to place the 2 tables...further, we ripped a 1/2" of of the long leg of the bracket so it wouldn't protrude as far...I liked it and will use it again......

p.s. an adjustable paint roller pole makes and excellent outer leg for the table......MJ

I think this may be the same style as MJ's link or very similiar.
Just about half the price.

For the side table on my TD I made my own brackets
To start with I fastened a piece of 3/4" aluminum angle to the bottom of the table.
And for the bracket on the side of the trailer I used a piece of laminate flooring that I cut, shaped and painted to make what looks like a decorative body-side molding when the table is not attached.
I fastened the new molding to the side of the trailer with scews and put 2-3 washer's between the molding and the body to leave a nice snug space for the aluminum angle on the bottom of the table to slide into.
