We've received a lot of comments regarding the table we built in our camper van. So, we've finally put together a video which explains how it works, and exactly how we built it. If you have any questions, please let us know!

Nice and simple. Great! One possible improvement: a bicycle seat locking device to adjust height.

I was thinking of a way to improve your design. Don't get me wrong, it is amazing, but imagine if you could leave the foot in place. If you drill a horizontal hole in the bottom of the ABS pipe, about 5 inches from the bottom with a diameter of a pin/screw. This way, if you pull the pin out, the leg would drop lower than the bed height and can stay in place. Lift it up, insert the pin and you can use it as you currently do.

Thanks for this comment. I was trying to figure out how not to allow mine to swivel while I’m traveling or just not wanting it to move. I will just insert a hole through all of it and put like a cotter pin.

Good video and project! The parts are easy, the challenge is locating the leg. A lot of videos show the mistakes (and holes) people make while they experiment and try to figure out the location because of how it moves. People have to do this part slowly, figure where they will sit, if it needs to swing in a circle or not, where it rests, what it hits on the way, etc.

Costs a bit more now for the parts in 2022 ($74) but still way less then a Lagun table. I did end up using 1" pipe as it was the only way to find all parts that would fit together at least at one store. Seems quite sturdy enough but my table top is a little smaller, too. Easy to assemble and works great! Thanks all these years later :)
