Fingers crossed someone can help us out...

Our Familia is lacking its big table and we intend to make a replacement, could we ask any Familia owners who are reading if they wouldn't mind accurately measuring the length and width of their big table for us so we can make ours to the original size?

Ta!

Steve and Angie

hi, what year is your Familia. Is it a 3 berth or 2 berth duo ?
ill measure mine tonight.
thanks

Thanks very much

It's a three berth... I didn't realise that the table sizes would be different - I suppose the double bed is bigger in the two berth version??


Cheers,
Steve.

Layouts and sizes change over the years do you have a year for it?

Yes she's 1977 vintage. Crikey, I was 21 in 1977!!

I've been looking on the internet and have found a picture of the table from one of a similar age ('75) and whose little single leg front table is exactly the same as ours; the Formica and white plastic edging band are an exact match too. Let's see if I can work the forum to insert the photo which I 'borrowed' from ebay...

Mine is an 84 familia 3 berth. The big table measures 60cm wide by 100cm long.

Thanks very much for that Steve, hmmm... interesting. Our little table is 54cm wide and I had sort of assumed that the big table would be the same width. So, a couple of questions if I may...
Is your little table the same 60cm width as the big one, and, does your table look like the one in the pic I posted?

Anyone else got any thoughts? All really appreciated as, if I'm going to make a new table, I'd like to get it as close to original as possible. I've realised that the chances of getting a decent original table from that year are close to zero and also likely to be above our budget.

All the best,
Steve.

Instead of trying to replicate the original, why not work out what size of table would suit YOU and make that. Or maybe make a few tables which you could use on different occasions depending on what type of trip you are planning.

Yes, that is a nice idea (and we did think along those lines... nothing to stop us doing it in the future...) but for now we have decided to replicate the original - hence the questions!

Steve.

ill measure the little table later today, however mine aren't exactly the same as yours in appearance (77 vs 84)- will try and post a pic below. To be honest i find the big table too long and too wide at 100 x 60. you almost have to adopt the seating position in mid air and slide yourself in (if that makes sense). The big table is fine if you need to have 4 people eating but given its just the two of us, if it were 2/3 the size it would probably be easier to manouvre in and out. i shall measure the distance between my 2 long seats also so that you have a frame of reference.

My small table measures 54cm wide x 68 cm long

Steve, you are very kind and helpful doing all this measuring for us - it's much appreciated!
Our little table is 54 wide too so maybe the standard was 54 fer 't little 'un an' 60 fer 't big 'un???


I'm working over the weekend so will be away from the forum temporarily...

Cheers.

Angie and Steve,

For information the table rail in my link in the table topic arrived and is 2 ft or 610 mm long.
