We use ours whenever camping.   We find it's very useful for cooking or
eating on, and since there are 4 in our family, we need all the table space
we can get for inside meals.   We store it behind the passengers front seat
(I installed cleats and use a bungee cord to hold it in place.)

BTW - the front table bracket makes a great paper towel holder.   Ours
holds a roll of paper towels at all times (whenever  the table isn't
mounted.)  Paper towels are accessible from front seats, stove, or rear
seats (with a stretch).
