Traveling with Table on R-Pod 171

We found that storing the table during travel was best by folding the table legs as usual, then, sliding the back edge of the table (with top of table facing away from you) down along the rear seat cushion base.   The supports on the sides to make it into a bed area do not go all the way back, so they (and the pressure of the seat cushions on both sides) keep the table in a perfect upright storage position, and it can't wiggle or fall out of place.   It is out of the way, easy to set up, and secure without adding a thing.

   We did dislike the table with the legs though, as most of you do.   We purchased a pedestal set and now we can get in & out of the table area easily by pivoting the table.   I also mounted the pedestal more toward the back of the table floor area to give even easier access.

   If I could figure out how to post photo's, I will get some in here.

Here are some photo's of the converted table to a pedestal table.  I still need to get underneath and move the fresh water tank out of the way to bolt thru the floor rather than just screws as it is now installed.  I will back it underneath with some plate aluminum to stop the 'wobble' from the floor flex.

   Also is photo's of the table in the stored position, which requires no extra work or straps.  It stays put traveling,  and is out of the way when loading/unloading.

Hope this works.....

Butterfly_lee,

Chunked the legs off my table last night. Since we spend most of our time outside in the dome, we keep our 171 set up with two beds. I have a nice folding table that we use for meals and one to hold the toaster oven and coffee pot outside. All the pod is used for is potty calls and snoozing. All of our cooking and relaxing is done outside.
