Dinette Table Leg

[erniecarpet@...]

Curt- my table leg is cantelevered to the top of the channel box on the side
of the coach. Since this is a very stable arrangement, don't think you could
lower it, unless you removed the screws. Makes a very nice uncluttered
arrangement, though.

Our dinette table leg is anchored to the table top with several screws.
Some time ago someone mentioned modifying the dinette table leg so it
would hinge, or the leg could be easily removed to make the table a bed.
Anyone???

Ernie,
I knew someone had done something like what you describe. Is that leg
completely above the channel box?

My thinking is this, I could make up a receiver for the leg at the outer
table end, and do the same at the channel box or just above it. Insert
the leg in the two receivers and all is good (hopefully), lift table
slightly and remove the leg. No screws. Thoughts?

One of the oldest and in my opinion best places to find excellent
quality materials for woodworking is at Constantines in New York City
established in 1812. I have bought many many things from them and
they are a wonderful place to visit.
The folding leg brackets shown on this page http://tinyurl.com/qqe3m
. may be what you are looking for.

Curt, my table leg is a piece of square tubing with a angle bracket welded to
both ends. One sits on the box and one fits under the table lip. Both ends
are screwed in , but have removed the table before- no problem.

Tom,
Thanks for the link. Looks like a couple items could be used.

Curt... I also wanted to convert the dinett to a bed. I ordered quick
disconnect table brackets for wall to table and disconnect brackets
for the table leg, from a web site(http://www.http:sailboatstuff.com).I
already installed the wall brackets and the table leg brackets should
be here tommorrow.The table top is coreon(sp) and very heavy. I also
installed a steel angle bracket to the rear bench(89 sp36)to support
the table when in bed position. The front bench has a support.
I am going to add a temparory support under the table too. Dont
want to crack it>
I could send photos if it would help.

The wall brackets are there in our coach, same as I have seen in RVs for
years. The supports for the table top when down to make a bed are there
too. Beyond me why BB made the table leg stationary, maybe the previous
owner made the leg stationary. I'll attend the next NHRA event at
Pomona, buy a pit pass, and bring a whole lot of questions to ask him.

Do you have the part number(s) for the leg bracket that you ordered?
Thanks.

I'd be interested in what you are adding for the temporary support.

Pictures of all please.

Thank you.
