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.

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.
