Folding Table on Lagun Mount: Maximize Your Van Space

Күн бұрын

Trying to do it all with the Lagun Table leg is this weeks van build challenge. Creating a large table that folds into a small footprint to maximise our tiny living space.
The Lagun Table System seems to be 'The' choice for van conversions. But we had a dilemma; how can we have large table, a space saving small footprint and use it when our seats are swivelled - as well as in transit mode?
- Watch Our Van Build Series -
• Van Conversion Series:...
-
After our recent road trip we knew we needed a table to eat, work and play on. We also knew it needed to work in lots of different places.
This is another job checked off the list in our van conversion. We still have a fair few things to do between trips, but this should be a very useful addition.

Great. Wonder if you would share how the hinges were set in. I understand drawing around the hinge, but curious about the notch-out for the barrel on the hinge. Thanks.

@WanderbusAdventures 4 ай бұрын

No problem, so after drawing around them a flush router bit was used to carefully notch out the shape. Then went a bit deeper for the barrel part if that makes sense.

This is a great idea and we have asked a friend with a laser etching machine if they’d be able to do this. If not freehand. But an amazing idea Neil.

Now that’s what I call genius! Fab design and even better execution 😍😎👍🏻 Is it me or have you started using a mic for when you’re talking away from the camera? Or did you use this when you were away, only noticing it now 😂😂😂

Thanks Ian. We are pleased with it so far. Mic - good spot. We have. We did use it for mainly voice over when we were away and have been using it for a few build videos. Have been trying to work on the sound and getting it leveled. But it’s a tricky thing 😂

Wy you dont a turn driverseat aan the front ?

@WanderbusAdventures Жыл бұрын

We did think about this. We wanted to turn the passenger seats instead so it makes more of a communal area with the sofa/kitchen. I tbink if we had a regular front seat arrangement we’d have swiveled both. We also looked at the seat box for the drivers seat and when it swivels it would have been a bit higher than the passenger seats, so the table wouldn’t have worked as well in that position.

@Tom111060 Жыл бұрын

Smart way to fold the table ... But: with the "securing" latch on top of the small version you take away the usage as a small one-person table ... ( and please do NOT use the table infront of passengers while driving - (the lagun fasteners do not withstand the forces of a hard break maneuver nor even a light impact - really dangerous (ask me how I know)

@WanderbusAdventures Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tom. The latch does reduce the usage a bit but we’ve found we can sit a laptop, colouring book etc on it still - so that’s good. The main consideration was keeping it from opening when being picked up or moved if that makes sense. When you say fasteners do you mean the turn handles themselves? I’ve emailed Lagun to ask them about this, so thanks for pointing it out. They seem quite sturdy on the face of it, but we will take into consideration and ask the manufacturer about use in transit. Cheers for the heads up.
