I need some info on the now iconic "swing up table". Can't for the life
of me remember who has this in their coach (Mr Work?) but I'd like to
borrow the idea.

While visiting Jerry Wheeler this past summer I had a chance to explore
his daughter's 230. The dinette had been deleted and in it's place was
a couch. Got me thinking about all the wasted space under that dinette
that is only used when you sit there. After that it was only a matter
of time before I went that way in my 230.

Started this weekend building the framework and reworking the wall.
Found a few interesting things behind the wall. Some pretty sloppy work
from the factory had an 120V cable almost worn thru against an aluminum
plate, for instance. Also fixed some pretty sketchy work on the 120V
work by the PO. But I digress.

Since I'm removing the dinette table as well, I need to make a new one.
Got some ideas but rather than reinventing the wheel I'd like to see if
I can't springboard off an existing design.

Pic of the project are here. I've gotten a bit further than this but
haven't loaded photos.
