My wife saw a picture of a new Winebago pusher with a folding table attached to the armrest, similar to a front seat on an airplane. She thought it was cool. Being the kind of husband who likes to please his wife, I would like to make that happen for her (somehow).

Has anyone found or fabricated a suitable table that can be folded out to be used while driving? I looked at the photo site, but didn't see anything.

I have a few ideas, but if anyone has anything to offer, I'm all ears.

Thanks

Carl,

On our maiden voyage (that did not go as hoped because there was snow), we stopped at Mall Of America (the second to last time). In the As Seen On TV store, there was a folding table. A light (not yet converted to LED) went on. We bought one and it has traveled with us ever since. Its two L shaped legs span the seat base and it can easily be adjusted to a good working height. It has served well as the navigators table for 15 years. They seem to be less available than they used to be, but a good picture is at https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/table-mate-reg-adjustable-table/3257655/.

Thanks Matt! That looks like it would be just the thing. I'll run it by Kathy and see what she thinks.

I used that exact table in the front of our 26’ Eleganza II from 2007 thru 2013 as our computer table setup in the passenger seat side and I made a shelf to set the laptop up a little bit higher. I still have it although ours is white. We would spend 3+ months in Florida until we went to AZ and never went back.
