After checking out MarkBC's Lagun table mount in his camper, the Lady thought it would be a nice addition. It was a sturdier mount with a more rigid table and it eliminated the need to store the table parts when we drove.
This was our original, traditional table set up when we remodeled our camper.
Because I knew I would be modifying the parts (i.e. cutting them up) I bought the chinese knock off on eBay.
Springfield Lagun Style Table Pedestal
I shortened the mounting base and added two new top screw holes to fit my space.
I shortened the main pedestal on both ends. I added a second hole to the bottom and used two 5/16" bolts for a rigid attachment. I don't plan to raise and lower the table so needed no ajustability here. The plastic insert on the top that incorporates the male mounting post for the horizontal leg is easy to remove with careful tapping with a long hardwood dowel. Then the pedestal can be cut to length and the insert reinstalled. I shortened the horizontal leg in the same manner by removing the end caps and the female inserts for the plastic male posts. I cut the aluminum to length, drilled a new 1 1/8" hole for the female insert along with a narrow 1/8" slot that allows for tightening of the bolts, and a new hole for the tightening bolt.
I also added a length of stick on fuzzy velcro to the top of the cross piece for a buffering spacer between it and the mount on the table bottom.
For $80 bucks and a little bit of custom work, we are pleased and will see how well it holds up.
