<<<<Just drove home with my first vanagon, 1987  westfalia.  I see how the
back table can swing over the storage areas  and be secured there, but
what about the front table?  The previous  owner said he just kept them
in the garage and never used them.  It  looks like the front table could
go behind the drivers seat, but keeping it  from rattling is awkward.  I
dont see it there in any photos of people's  interiors.  The manual
mentions where they go when they are used, and  how to "install" them,
but nothing about  storage.>>>>>

Rob, I keep my front  table top up against the rear closet wall trapped by
the seat back and engine  lid cushion cover.  Stays put and is easily
accessible.  The rear  table I keep from swinging out by using a rare earth magnet
mounted dead centre  on the edge and a metal plate screwed to the wall opposite the
magnet.   Works perfectly.  I sell these magnets as a kit for this purpose if
you  can't find them locally.  See my Vanagon Items Forsale,
