Folding Tables 4 Casita TT
Is there folding table available for use inside a
Casita? Stable enough for a laptop or writing.
Thanks,
Tom Welch

Maybe
"Pocket Table" from Camping World (Item #19726) is very stable and great for our propane barbecue outside. (We saw others using this table at RMNP Rally, so we bought one too.) However, I think you may find it two or three inches too low for comfortable laptop or writing table use. :inbox

Small tables
Tom, We use the small dinette table in our Liberty deluxe for writing and/or laptop. (The laptop, admittedly, doesn't get to go along much anymore!) Others' mileage varies, but our small dinette is very stable, even though it's supported by the single post.
We also have this wonderful little folding table my uncle built (photo to follow, soon!) We keep it outside (for the most part) next to the door. It's perfect for setting stuff that's about to be fetched to the picnic table, etc.
Before my uncle gave me his little table, I had my eye on several that are made for use on sailboats (in the West Marine catalog). A wide variety are available, some of nicely crafted wood... All of these fold up and can be stowed out of the way.
Good luck with it. I'd appreciate knowing what you find that you think will work well! :reye2

Folding tables
We have two wooden folding tables we picked up from Ikea ( the weird crowded Swiss tacky item store)
One is for outside patio use (seems to weather well)about 15X15 inches the other is smaller for inside.
Less than 20 bucks for both of them.

Cafe Table
As per Mary Foster's post, I found this table at West Marine:
<a href="http://www.westmarine.com/" target="_blank">
<img src=http://www.westmarine.com/images/full/2653079_f.jpg/></a>
(product Id = 65759)
A table is important to me because if I can find a suitable table,
then perhaps I would be better off buying a 16' Liberty Deluxe. I
really like the LD's floor plan (location of galley), perhaps more
versatile stowage areas and openness than the Spirit Deluxe,
at least for me.
The small table that comes with the LD seems to a pain,
since I imagine you can't walk around it to go to the
bathroom. Keep in mind, I've only seen a 17' SD in
person.
Thanks,
Tom Welch

Camping World
Camping World has the table on super sale ... US$6 for President Club members, US$7 something for regular folks ... which essentially takes the price to buy 1 get one free.
Webmaster Michael is in the process of establishing a "partner" arrangement with Camping World, so if you can wait until he gets it established, the website will get a little stipend if you click on his partner icon. (I'll let Michael give more details as to when and where that will be!)
http://www.campingworld.com/browse/product...c=SRCH&tcode=37
By the by, I own 4 of these tables ... we use them outside the trailer, by our folding chairs ... for drinks, snacks, etc.
Tom, in our three Liberty Deluxes, we only have the table up when we're eating or traveling down the road, etc.
The rest of the time when camping, the table top and post are stored on the side ... since we flip the feather bed mattress back into a couch mode during the day, the upside down table on the side bench allows me to put my feet up without getting in trouble. This frees up the whole center area for walking, etc.

tables
I went to the Camping world web site, and found more tables the I every knew about. I got about 4 on my wish list now. one looks just like the one I use for my sewing machine. about $26. I know that will be solid for a computer. or fit in skinny little places. The one Tom showed is on my list too. and maybe a metal one like the pocket one.(strange name) and the one for in front of the chair for writting. and and. great company. shipping wasn't bad either.

Two green
Long ago, the tables only came in green.
I purchased two of them.
Then Pam noticed the tables came in white ... which, of course, looks better with our little white fiberglass wonders ....
So, I purchased two more.
It's neat the white ones are on sale ... but the green ones aren't. Y'all probably want the white ones!
And no, Jan, the tables don't come in yellow! :)

If you want the tables, go grab them up. Don't wait for me to set up a special link. Camping World doesn't offer affiliate programs for website owners.
Quote:
:wiggly For those of you that are wondering what an affiliate program is, it is a special link from one website to another. This link will give the referring website a small sales commission for every customer that is sent and buys something. The items bought do Not cost any extra to you. This is how I hope to defray the cost of this website and keep it free and with no pop-up ads.

tables
too bad on the money maker, Michael.
I have a very long wish list, and tables ar NOT close to the top, so by the time I get to them I'll probly change my mind 6 times. :)
Things that fold are a weakness. Just bought a folding bike. sure hope I ride it at least once.

Just a thought
Got an extra wooden TV tray? They make great little folding take alongs. Perfect height, good size for laptop or extra plate at dinner time.

Out Table problem is solved
We purchased a table last week at Costco - LIFETIME Personal Table -
4 adjustable settings for height 21", 24", 26" and 28". The table top is 30" x 20" - Stain resistant, easy to clean, for Indoor or Outdoor. The table legs are like an ironing board or scissors - very stable. It's also very lightweight.
It fits in our Liberty perfect - (but our dinette seats 2 people on a side and is 35" wide). $19.95 at Costco ....
Here's a photo.

Our LIFETIME Personal Table
Here is a photo taken inside our Casita - it looks like the table is sitting on the cushions - it isn't. The table also turns the other way.

Thank for all the responses...
This thread has convinced me that perhaps a 17'
Casita Liberty Deluxe would be a better choice for
me than a 16' Liberty or Spirit Deluxe. Especially
after the email I got from Don explaining the
differences between the 16' and 17' Casitas.
Thank you,
Tom

Table
Carol and Jim :wave
That is the perfect table. We eat at the settee end of our Boler and our folding table is a tad large to move around for serving. When did you buy it at Costco was it a seasonal item? here in the B.C. all the camping stuff is put away. I will be watching for next year. Thanks

Our table
Hello Pippa and others...
We purchased our table at Costco October 28 ... They had just gotten them into the store... Last night (Nov 7) Jim went to Costco and they were all out but they might be getting another shipment - just check with them if your store is out.
The number on our receipt for the table is: 473125 Adj. Table.
It really is a great table. They aren't going to stay in the store long once the shipment comes in .. in our case, about 10 days between when they came in and they were gone. So if you are interested, don't hesitate - check with Costco with the above number.
Carol
