We too use the front table when camping.  When stopped it gets removed from
the upper bunk area and positioned between the two front seats. We use it
as a counter top when cooking.  At night a variety of items get piled on
it.  The large back table is stored behind the back seat when moving down
the road, this allows for easy access into the top loading cabinets to
retrieve snacks.  This was our mode of operation when we had one child, now
with two kids we will probably have to re-think how we do things.

What are the details of your TV/VCR table design?

I like the idea of a new and improved front table.  When I go home I'll get
out a tape measure and figure out, in my opinion, the optimum size.  Off
the top of my head I'm thinking a little longer and narrower.  The ideal
table would have a checker/chess board pattern for double duty as a game
tabletop.  Any one ever try integrating a checker/chess board?
