Although ours stays put, I've heard that some folks attach Hook & loop
style fastener (Velcro) to the table edge and the wall soo it doesn't
budge.

John,
I have a "1980 Westy" with exactly the same problem. I have read that
there is some sort of sleeve that fits around the tube connected to the
table that distributes the friction applied by the screw and holds the
table in place. Some one once told me that my van was probably missing
this sleeve. I have no idea if that is true and if it is, I have no
idea where to get one. Please share any information that you come
across with me. My temporary solution has been to roll up a blanket and
force it between the table and the cupboard over the water tank. This
seems to work for the most part but does add to the hassle of extracting
items from the closet.

My rear table does not stay in place when the van is mobile. Yes, I
tighten the screws on the leg and table tob, but the table still swings
out. Van is an 81. I currently stretch a bungee cord, but there's no
great place to attach it to, and then I have remove this whole affair to
open the rear closet (I'm not cutting the door or the table!, well
maybe
I will)
Does anyone else have this problem. Currently, I store the table in the
hatch, but then it gets buried with other stuff so it a bit of a pain to
get out for a kids lunch stop with the kids.
Any ideas appreciated. Please p-mail - I lurk through the web.
