A better table
Zitat
The search for a decent table is like the search for appropriate chairs or the right awning. It is almost a rite of passage!
We also suffered the Hymer colossus for a while and the latest version is as heavy and unwieldy as ever but is no longer stowed under the bed. They expect us to transport it laying flat on the bed held in place by poppers on short strips of webbing attached to,the wall and fridge end. It is stupid!
Ours is now confined to the garage.
My big table now also resides in the garage, not taking it means I can leave the bed up while towing as I don't have to pull it down to put the table back in the rail to transport it.
Other tables are a matter of choice depending on circumstances ...........uses .........number of people that need seating ...........eating inside or out .............and so on, so not easy to advise others on.
For instance I use 2 small tables at the front inside and a small fold up one outside ............ but travel alone (with Gladly) so only small tables are needed.

I could photograph it for you tomorrow if you like but only if you send me a pic of the lovely Mrs P lightly dusted with flour!

Brunner camping extras are appearing more commonly these days in the larger accessory shops like Homestead. They make a largish aluminium table with slatted top and X shaped folding legs which might be suitable.
It is pretty expensive, though.
Incidentally, Mrs P has learned to live with her X shaped folding legs though it makes buying tights a bit difficult.

I like the look of that table. The scissor legged ones cannot be sat at at the ends.

We've had 2 Vango birch tables since we bought our frist Eriba 5 years ago and they are still looking good and going strong. We use them all the time. We carry them in the tow car not in the Eriba. We tend to keep the caravan clear during journies in case we want to use it!!
There you go then, it worked!
Many years ago I built a table out of ply offcuts.
The top was 4mm Marine ply
The sides and ribs were 1/2" Birch ply doweled and glued.
The temporary legs were from an old paste table,
(later replaced)
Finished with several coats of Danish oil it lasted for years,
light and rigid an ideal tenting table, I regret selling it even now.
