Hi all, we have just found this very small table and we wanted to share it with you. When we bought the motorhome it was of a particular layout that we wanted but we had no experience of living with it. Whilst we were looking around we had seen an Autotrail that had a smallish round table on a single pedestal that was fitted up by the swivel cab seats enabling us to use it for snacks etc. We bought the Bessacarr and it had no such table and we soon found that there was nowhere to put drinks etc. when sat in the cab seats, or even at the cab end of the two loungers. So for weeks we looked online and in camping & caravan shops to find a suitable, small, table to no avail. Some we found appeared suitable but because the gap between the seats is relatively small all were too large to fit between them. Not giving up we thought how we could improvise or make one and then decided if we bought a fold flat fishing stool we could sew Velcro to the top and fix a drinks tray to the top. This would meet our needs and also enable us to use it as a stool when needed. So we bought one for £10 but it was surprisingly not easy finding a supplier for such items in time for our holiday. I spent about an hour the other night sewing the Velcro to the fabric top.

Today we found the small table we had been looking for in The Range, also for £10. It was aluminium and folds up flat and is very sturdy. It is sold as a stool but looks more like a slatted table and measures 35x25x39cm so is perfect. I have just waked up to our motorhome to check it fits and it does, even better is the fact it fits in both ways so we have more options. I have attached some photos of the table for anyone who may be interested. Because we had spent so much time searching for one of these small tables I thought I would share it with you all in case anyone had the same idea, or would like one now they have seen what we thought of. Regards, Roy
