Mate, I’ve said this before, but the way you keep your channel honest by telling and showing us the things that don’t go perfectly to plan, as well as the things that do is a big part of why we love your channel. Also a reason that I vote that you continue to do the gear reviews, I trust what you have to say has been your honest experience. Thanks for the video and your efforts 🙌☕️👍

Every job I start always seems to be more difficult than I imagined before I started - don’t start me in plumbing. A drill I bought recently has a 90 degree chuck accessory & I’ve found that extremely useful in tight spaces like you had there. Thanks for sharing the real world challenges we all face & at the end of the day you made it work! 👏👏👏👏

Thanks, Bob. I'm about to fit the same table into our van. Great help,

I think you did a great job in a very confined space. And it is a most useful table as well.

Hi Bob, that table looks ideal for when you are working or for coffee etc., you made a good job of fixing it brilliant job x

I was thinking of just the same table and installation, but no access to either side and I find the cushions extend out of the wood meaning it has to have backing. But I did a good job and I would never have thought about the levelling. Well done u

I removed the huge cumbersome dinette table from my Adria Twin and replaced it with a much smaller one (same as you’d fit in a pop top camper), to make life easier when I didn’t want the table up. It took me ages to measure a million times to make sure I got the hinges in the correct place - fortunately the leg was adjustable, so didn’t have to be that level. It was a performance for a novice like me, but well worth it. Nice job Bob - I’d never have thought about the van being level before starting…🙄😂

Great job Bob, you came up with a solution to fitting the bracket in a very awkward and tight space. Hope it solves your space problem. Best wishes Pete & Nicky

Really helpful Bob, we were thinking of getting one too. Not confident at DIY either so great to see you crack it!!

great vlog bob

Bob great video, especially highlighting your mistakes 🤭. I have installed the same type as Rob. I have also oscillated the table top so when you rotate it the table can project further (my wife can use for cuppa etc from her seat) or less. I simply offset the securing plate, screwed into 4 of the 6 existing holes, and made 2 further new holes for screws. Works great. Keep up the great work. All the best Russell & Jo

Difficult angle to work, but successful job. Might have a go myself! Thanks for sharing the vlog.

You must have read our minds Bob, we have a Swift Bessacarr E510 and also find the table big and cumbersome, so seeing this video is so helpful. We even mention it in our most recent video. We have a small picnic table but only for one really so the addition of the swivel table will be invaluable. Rgds Gary and Julie.

Very tricky job, but all good at the end and i am sure it will be very useful.

Yes they take some figuring out, I’ve just made a smaller top for my table in my camper.

A Paper Template might be a good Idea to include in the kit , with Drill Points which includes the Minimum Distance Guide from Deck to Base of Mounting Plate

Great job fitting the table, can I give you a little bit of advice. Don't use a spirit level as the van might not be level. It's better using a set square. I have kitted out a few joiner vans. Hope this helps.

I've always thought D.I.Y should be (In my case anyway) D.I.W (did it wrong)!! Thank you for this review Bob, great table.

Hi Bob, I feel your pain mate. I am a kitchen fitter and I do this stuff day in day out. You did a cracking job mate but maybe of over thought it a bit, just take measurements from upright structures as they will be level in the factory . At least you had the seal of approval from Jenny . Table looks great Bob.

Well done. We have an Autotrail with a similar table fitted as new (possible very slightly larger) -we’ve found it to be our regular table for meals etc with one person sitting in the captain’s chair. The only downside is that when we’ve had company using a larger table, one captain’s chair can’t be used as the small table is swivelled right over to it.

Very good and well done for fitting it

Great job, they are a game changer in motorhomes like ours, really enjoyed watching, and thanks to you I now know ours swivels, not that it matters on a round table though 😂

I can’t believe you failed your CSE in woodwork! That took me back in an incident with a zither when I measured 10cm wide when it should have been 12cm. The end result was lovely but 2cm too narrow. 45 years ago and it still hurts! 🤣🤣 You’re table looks great and definitely matches your worktop. 😊

Very useful video Bob, well done as I’ve been procrastinating where to fit mine and had the leg before I got the van and still not fitted! Useful insight thank you. It would be great if you could temporarily fit them without making holes wouldn’t it. Out of interest is the table top lightweight construction or relatively solid? It looks very good. All the best, David 👍

Great job Captain 👍🏻. Love the table . Defo getting one . For future ref . Could of took your level off the seat panel top edge , which you know would be level and simply measured down equally( no need to level van then ) . But top job , and nobody likes a “could of “ clever clown 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

Off-set your Laguna table mount, don't put it dead center. It makes the table swivel to more positions.

Hi Bob, we fitted one in our Benimar 494 as the standard table was too big and I was unable to recline the drivers seat. We store our table above the drivers seats.

Thanks Bob, we are now thinking of fitting a Lagun table in our caravan. 😀 When we do I'll be sure to have a few hours put aside so as not to rush. How long did it take you all up you reckon ?

Looks good. Can I ask .... do you find the table top is rigid or does it wobble? I'd like to fit a larger top than you have, but I'm concerned that there may be a lot of movement.

I have a Autosleepers Nuevo EK and often use it with two single beds. Can the table be removed from the upright and can the upright be be removed from the bracket As with the Nuevo using it as two single beds you swivel the seats round and are part of the beds. How much was the kit ? and the table top ? And where from ? Keep up the good work - Terry

You may have noticed Bob on the photos I sent you yesterday that I strengthened the fixing plate with timber to ensue no table wobble. I also fixed the plate on a thick piece of timber which sat on the floor which again helped with making it more rigid. I did buy extra long bolts and also a table 900mm x 500mm

Not sure you did anything wrong. You need to see my diy!! 😂

How much was it for the stand and the table too please? 😊
