Greetings Everybody!

Camper van tables can be as simple as TV trays to as elaborate as you want.  Portable tables and TV trays have the advantage of being able to be used outdoors as well as indoors.  I really like keeping things portable for this exact reason, and it cuts down on what I need, because I don't have one built in, and then need a second one for outdoor use.

Built in tables come in many varieties, some might be hinged to a wall, or held up by one or more pedestals.  Some are handier or more versatile than others.  Some tables can be folded out when the doors are open to make an outdoor table.  Some tables can be folded down from the backs of seats, and some can even attach to steering wheels.

Among my favorites in the built in category are the westfalia style swing arm swivel tables.  These are among the most usable and versatile tables I've encountered, and DIY versions are relatively easy to make. Here's some examples:


Here's a slightly more sophisticated version:


Can you imagine all the positions possible for this thing?


You can find directions on youtube for making swing arm tables.

Steering wheel, and back of seat tables and organizers can be a great addition as well.


Some tables are held up by pedestals, and some might hinge out from the wall.  Some tables can become part of a fold down bed base.  You can find a lot of inspiration at: https://www.google.com/search?q=camper+van+tables&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit873G5c_aAhUI8WMKHeXYA8kQ_AUICygC.

Enjoy!
