Kim, at Vintage Trailer Supply answered my request for instructions with "none were provided by the manufacturer, Troyer Products." I located their (Troyer) catalog and it shows all the parts available including the white "wedgies" but no instructions. I have no fear of figuring this out but those weggies are really bugging me. Here is the catalog. http://www.troyerproducts.com/catalog/LIFTABLE.pdf

No, that was new to me. Thanks! Winwood and Spencer Davis, what a combo. As long as we’re off topic, one of the best covers I have heard was from an unusual artist (to me) and location (also for me). Coming back from Taos on a business trip, I was staying in a motel adjacent to the Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in Amarillo. I had a couple of drinks in the bar, decorated appropriately for the Hall of Fame, a younger customer came up with a CD. They played an excellent cover of “Sweet Dreams.” When I asked who it was, the first response was “You’re probably not going to like it.” and they held up a CD showing Marilyn Manson in full makeup on the cover. My response was “Aw heck, that’s just Alice Cooper’s act warmed over!” They thought about it for a couple of seconds, and then agreed.
It served me well a few years later when I was long-distance dating someone in DC. We were leaving her apartment with her teenage daughter and her boyfriend who was wearing a Marylyn Manson T-shirt. Without thinking, I turned to my friend and asked, “Have you ever heard Marylyn Manson’s cover of Sweet Dreams?” This froze the young man in his tracks. He just couldn’t believe I said that. It really is a good cover, though.
For real favorites, check out Gene’s thread: Traveling Tunes. There are just too many to list, and more come all the time.
I put my table bracket in last night. Looks like to me they are used to hold the wire from coming (up) out of the wall bracket. Mount them, one on each wall bracket, on one of the upper screws. They will hold the wire from comng up out of the bracket when moving the table up and down. If the wire needs to be removed, loosen the screw slightly and the plastic thingy can be easily swiveled up out of the way.

Could you post photos? I have nothing that I would call wires. Perhaps what I would call “rods”, you are calling “wires.” In any event, I have nothing like that.
OK, call it a rod instead of a wire. You have a pair of brackets on the wall. You have a pair of brackets on the table. You have a rod which is bent. The rod ends are attached to the table by the table brackets. The middle part of the rod is attached to the wall brackets, and can be popped out upward. These wall brackets are where the plastic parts go as previously described to keep the rod from being popped out upward.
I will try to get a close-up of the brackets, but meanwhile here is the end result (without the little plastic deelios!). Doorgunner and his main squeeze, Linda Lu are on the right and my hubby, Mark is seated on the left. He built all of the dinette, table/bed and check out the new Marmoleum floor!
best to all, Karin
I have been fiddling (no Karin I don't do fiddles like you) with trying to mount my table. I know how it works but our coach has a 'sill' or shelf that is along the gaucho walls. I don't want to remove that but it isn't high enough to accept the upper folding table brackets...the cupped brackets you normally would mount onto the wall. It looks like this drop table idea goes bye bye for me. I am going to replace the table and it's hinge then cut 2 ply boards to span the space between the seats. I will put cleats on the fronts of the seats for the boards to rest upon. I will make a storage holder for them and the table leaf in the space behind the dropped table against the front wall. Nice work on your table and floor, guys,
Neil.

Neil, that sounds like it will work. Each Airstream has its own peculiarities. Mark had a heck of a time getting the table to sit just below the drapery channel.

Yeah, Karin, I think so too. I was amazed when after we bought the Trade Wind that AS had not thought of the bed/table option. When the 'kids' were kids we owned a couple of nice Coleman tent trailers. Their tables, of course, had to ride between the seats when the trailer was folded. But even better the table had a set of fold-up legs to where the table could be used anywhere....like an extra table in the house for the company for the Holiday feast. Maybe I could duplicate that by locating some fold up table legs. The PO left us their solution which was two 2'X6' planks stashed under the twin mattresses. We used the dinett bed table option last year when our daughter and baby needed to bed down in the trailer because she needed to nurse during the night. What a hassle to pull up everything to make that bed up!
Neil.
