Double tables in 2019 Airstream Flying Cloud 26RB

[Belbein]

Just looking at pictures ... can't figure out what's up with that?

You can remove both tables, use one of the tables, or both of the tables. When using onetable you can use either of the two holes in the floor and turn them to run the length or width of the trailer. The 26 RB use to be called the 26U. One of the few Airstream trailers with the shower, toilet, and sink in one room. The toilet also has a macerator to get the waste over the axle to the black tank.

I've had mine about a year. As a one-person traveler, I only use 1 of the two tables. For me, both tables make is difficult for my vertically challenged body to fit into the lounge seats. The half-a-table is adequate for most everything, but I would really appreciate a better design and materials. And yes, you need both if you ever need the bed with guests. I might eventually get a custom 1/2 table made.

.....and cut off about one and one half inch of the table posts to make a more workable height.

Yes! Lol, I forgot. The table is too high. Thankfully, Colonial Airstream trimmed my table posts during turnover at no charge.

I have same model. I use only one table. Works for the two of us. Cutting off 1 and 1/2 inch on post makes sense. I'll look into that.

I looked at one of these up on a dealer's lot. What I wanted to know was: could you remove one of the tables and have lounging space? The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, it looked to me like you could store two small 15x15x15" bolsters under the table, remove the inboard table, and have both plenty of dinette space and plenty of lounging space.

Sadly, the 26 would be pretty close to my truck's max capacity, so I couldn't do it. But probably the most flexible space of all the <27' trailers I've seen.

We also have the same model and picked it for the flexibility of being able to remove either one or both tables. If our 2 kids are with us we can have both tables up or if just the wife and I only 1 table is sufficient. In fact sometimes we even take both tables down and have a large open area. Also, as another member posted it is one of the few that Airstream offers with the bathroom and shower all enclosed together. Plenty of room for us and our needs.

Some of us go with an even smaller table, when it’s just the two of us

We also shortened the legs. WAY more comfortable now.

Cute table, where did you find that?

We own the 26u excellent for us! The one table up and other in storage when not used!
Ample room and sitting comfortable for a tall person or even being disabled this trailer is excellent! The Bathroom and shower has been great standing no problem and room is the key for us! We went with the RBQ great sleeping and comfortable!
We love our 2019 FC 26U ! Safe travels too all!!

Robert, a very dear friend (unofficial grand-daughter), painted it for us. She is very talented in a number of arts, but ceramics is her #1.

Here is another sample of her work (on wood):



I ordered an additional base ring from Airstream, so we still carry the original two table segments.

Was it just a matter of cutting the leg or did it have to be re-threaded?

You just need to drill out the two rivets holding the black collar to the bottom of the leg/legs. I think I used a 1/8" drill bit. Remove black plastic collar. A bit tight. You may have to use a vice and a rubber mallet to get things moving. Measure up from bottom of leg post about 1 1/2" Make several marks and wind a piece of painters tape around post to give yourself a cutting guide. Put leg in vice with some kind of scratch protection, new hacksaw blade and carefully cut off the end piece. File off rough edges. Use rubber mallet to tap black collar back onto post. Drill two small pilot holes through original spots and inset a small self tapping metal screw. Screw base of post into floor mount....Done. Enjoy.

Thanks everybody for better ideas for the tables! We still use just the one for us! We just turn it to what works for us! The bathroom seems great also, all contained! We still love our 26U ! Soon i hope we are all traveling again! Always travel safely! See you all on the road!

I love it!
I have one as a "work in progress". The plan is similar. 24" round from Lowe's. 12" round as stiffener offset 90deg. underneath. Stain to match the countertops if possible.
Purchased the flange and leg from Cascade Depot (matches Airstream). I'm mounting the flange 2" off center so by rotating the table, I can make it nearer or farther.
