Dear Mel, My name is Petter Svensson and i am purchasing manager at Boatsystem Group Sweden AB. We are the owners and producers of the Lagun table system. I can confirm that every single piece and bit of the original Lagun system is manufactured in Sweden with the assembly in Stockholm. We do not produce any lower tiers at all. Most knockoffs are from different producers in China, and we have no affiliation with any of them.

Great comparison Mel . My table (lagun) is about 4 years old and is as good as it was out of the box, so I can attest to the quality. I guess the knock off will do the job quite adequately. 👍👍

I have 2x fake ones for a while, if you put a good fitting metal washer (stainless I used) after the plastic one, before the tightening lever, it will stop the brass nut insert pulling through. After time, and some over tightening, the brass insert will pop out, go through plastic washer and get stuck in aluminium frame. Other than that it is very good, some cloudy discolouration on the aluminium frame, but for the money difference it's not a deal breaker.

The table mount pin was tight on your knock off and when I assembled mine the pin dropped straight in. There is movement from the table even when the clamp is tight. I will try a few wraps of insulation tape to firm it up and drive it in to see if that improves it. Apart from that the components are very heavy duty and well made.

I've just bought and installed a knock-off one myself actually! Something I've noticed is when the vertical leg fixing pin is at the same height as the mounting plate, it's secure as anything. But when I drop it down a bit, where the fixing pin is no longer pulling the metal together where it's in contact with the plate there's a fair bit of play and it's not as stable. Would be interesting to see if the Lagun and your knock-off have similar issues. (I'm sure you can explain it better than me!)

the max height you can achieve is limited by the placement of the mouting plate. You could have had an extra 3 inches of height available. I think taking some time simulating usage is going to be really important when deciding where to mount this. i just ordered one of the copies as this looks the nuts compared to most other table options I have seen.

I had the original Lagun but after a few months one of the handles jammed and needed to be replaced. Luckily they agreed to replace it under warranty. A year later those two peg holes were completely worn out (even though my table could only move back and forth for a little bit) and the angle of the table got so steep that I had to take that into account when poring a drink so it wouldn't spill. I contacted the seller again (...) but this wasn't under warranty. Which I found really bad service for such an expensive product. Those pegs and peg holes are just plastic which is not suitable for this type of movement and friction. This is a big flaw of this leg imo. I also wanted to be able to pivot the table over my bed, just like Mel but the leg couldn't reach it either. It could have if that slot was over the entire length (except for the last bit of course) of the leg. With an extra hole higher up for the handle that would've been the solution for my situation. If they had done that, the leg would be more versatile.

Great detailed video! Wasn't expecting so much in depth analysis over mouldings etc but it was great that you were showing us the difference in quality and components and confirming it had been made in a different factory. I guess it's fair to say cheaper products the lesser the expectations. However that said, not all expensive items are quality products and justify their price. Its all relative to the price difference, in this case I'd probably go with Lagun if the difference was about £35 however, if the knock off was less than half the price and ebay reviews were 4star (for example) then knock off all day long. Thanks Mel.

Good info Mel. I've managed to buy a second hand Lagun table leg with formica top for about a third of the price of the leg here in NZ. I was interested to see if the fake Lagun mount was usable with the real Lagun leg as I'd like another mounting plate and the fake ones are about NZ$30 off AliExpress/Amazon/ebay compared to the real ones at NZ$75 or $98 locally - depending on stockiest here. I plan to mount mine on the end of the kitchen unit by the slider, then it will swing into the slider space to extend the kitchen unit either across the doorway or at 90 degrees to the kitchen unit or swing round to use with the side facing sofa. When not in use it can be raised a little to swing over the kitchen benchtop - like the table in the old VW transporters did. Off to watch your video installing the real Lagun leg in Beckie's van now to see if you have any tips for me :-)

You can’t beat a bit a lube, Mel. 😉👍 Can I ask a question or perhaps advice. I’ve owned a 2004 Peugeot Expert HDI van since 2005 and in all that time, used it as not only as my only day 2 day vehicle, but also as a stealth camper. In all that time, it’s been very basic...and I mean BASIC! Bed, Bucket and Babywipes! I’ve used either a one or two ring cartridge gas cooker and a 10ltr water Jerry. No insulation or electrics. But your vids have inspired me to do a overhaul over this winter. I’ve already bought the recycled bottle insulation, some cladding for my roof and some down-lights and I’m going to have one solar panel on top and run split charger relay to a leisure battery , which will run some USB+12v charging panel inside. On the roof I also have a slim top box and when I add the solar panel, there’s not much room left for a fan/vent thingy! Can you recommend a good, small fan/vent that will give me some good ventilation please? Regards, Dazza. 🇬🇧

Are there any items that may catch fire from the heat radiated from the unit? Cheers, keep the videos coming. Chris. PS. I am going for the smaller diesel heater as I have a smaller van.

Did you not consider mounting to the bed wood...which is considerably higher than the sofa? Or use a a rectangle piece of plywood or lumber about an inch thick...extend it above the place where you had your old mount and once mounted..you then can mount your knock off "lagun" leg to the lumber. Paint your lumber to match your furnishings and you'll never notice it once everything is installed.

You missed an opportunity. You showed that the "leg" was different, you missed it the swing arm was interchangeable or not. You show the subtle difference, but you actually could have tried to see if it would fit or not. I was stupid and bought the cheap Chinese knockoff to save money, the tightening knobs stripped the first time i tried to tighten it. They would work good on anything except a regular RV sized table.

Lagun is made in Sweden and is so much higher quality. The Lagun is anodized aluminum while the knock off is painted. The system relies on tolerance for long term use, and the knock off is a cheap chinese painted one. Once the paint is scratched the tolerances are compromised. The way to say it is LA GOON not LA gun. He cant even get that right. For the money difference you can own the best with the Lagun and quality is evident. Bolts pressed in the Lagun instead of hand turned in. The plastic caps are completely different in composition and the knock off version struggle to stay in place. You GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! I bought the cheap one first, and it is glitchy and so then bought the Lagun. Should of bought quality the first time and got another lesson of price and Chinese knock off products. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

Hi Mel, thanks for the video. I'm a Trendwatcher on many subjects and watch a lot of videos. It's a hobby! I also have a private Facebookgroup for small campervans. This is for The Netherlands and the part of Belgium where they speak Dutch. How has it been with the copy since you released this video? With "Enjoy With The People Who Give You ENERGY (#EWTPWGYE)!!!"-greetings from the Netherlands, Theo
