I just got off the road from seven days of camping and I can say that
the "raisable" table is the best mod I have done. It does not rise
magically; it is not spring loaded. Yet.

My idea with the table hinges was to allow the table to flop over
itself when desired to let the closet door to swing open without
swinging the table out into the passenger/camping area.
