Mounting Brackets for Folding Table??

[vswingfield]

Ok, makes sense now. The brackets in my Excella have metal parts that slide up to fulfill the same function.

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!
