Background:
Lagun says the tabletop does not have to be removed while driving provided
it is fully locked in position. I've done so for the past 30K miles
with a few hundred of those miles on gravel roads. Every 10K miles
or so I've noticed the tabletop was no longer level or even
level'ish.
The Swing Arm Bushing at the Support Post end was becoming
bored out, no longer round.
- - Around 10K miles I flipped the swing arm over - - switched table end to post end.
- - At 20K miles I starting thinking about how to fix this issue.
- - Finally at 30K miles I started to remove the tabletop while driving.
- - And last month I ordered replacement Bushings from Lagun.
For my trailer (at least) the weight of the standard nüCamp supplied tabletop combined with the cantilever effect of the swing arm was just too much for the plastic bushings.
Bushing Wear & Replacement:
I contacted Lagun for the plastic bushing part number {I could not
find it on the parts page}. They quickly replied with the part #
and some instructions for installation. A pair of bushings was $15 +
shipping which was only available as FEDX 2nd Day at $16
A wedge was helpful to open the swing arm tube 'clamp' to allow easier
bushing removal/replacement. Easier not easy but very DIY'able.
