We use our front table. Love it. The is where most of the food
chopping/temp. storage takes place during galley time. Good for playing
cards, too.

To effectively swivel both front seats in ours, you need to roll down the
drivers window, and, if you are really crafty, replace the huge steering
wheel with 1985-1992 Jetta steering wheel, (smaller diameter, more room to
turn the seat).

We store our table, and the arm in the space at the back of the rear bunk,
and take it out only while camped. I'm a little tall, and have to have the
seat all the way back, and a little reclined, so the table/arm doesn't fit
behind the chair.

I think I still have mine, it should be somewhere in the garage! ;>)

It really is more trouble than it is worth. Have two people ever been
able to swivel the fronts seats around enough to use it for dining
effectively?
