Subject:      Re: Westy Front table survey--solution to loose R. table
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I took the front table out because there are only two of us that have been camping and was in the way, but have thought I would use it if there are more. List members have given out great ideas which I will try out.

As for a solution to the rear table swinging out-I simply adhered heavy-duty Velcro near the ends on the side of the table and matching places on the wall. This has ended all creeping by the table!

One other hint though-put the soft part of the Velcro on the table and not the wall-makes it more comfortable when sitting at the table. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>:-) Phillip 87 Westy

We moved our Westy front table to the back-it's easier to move in and out than the big one. We removed the mounting hardware from the larger table before carefully storing it away and made a little platform from plywood to hold our little TV. This idea is compliments of Listmember Kelly Bauman from Canada. The TV can now swivel around to view from any angle, even sitting outside. Like other listmembers we also keep a roll of paper towel on our front table "leg" - very handy! We have also found that by raising the rear table (permenently) to a height to match the stove top allows easier access to the cubbys underneath without having to swing the table out. If you don't want to eat on it that high up, just lower it back down. Another quick tip, we bought a bunch of those large spring clamps with red handles, like the carpenters use. We keep a couple clamped onto the tray above the rear table, about 8" apart and hang our coffee cups from them. They sit at about a 30 degree angle and you can also fit a roll of paper towels behind them.

Happy Trails,
