Where to put the Lagun Table at night?

DM2007 · July 2021

Sorry. this is so late - I wasn't notified anyone asked WHERE TO PUT THE LAGUN AT NIGHT. Well, we have a 2007 DM and we use the Laguna table top as the slats under the bed.

Widthwise, the table is exactly the same height as the bed platform you pull out from under the seats. I've been standing it upright between the 2 sets of slats. I put the leg on the floor. You only have to be careful when you put it away so it doesn't crash down.

We sleep differently at various times. When sleeping twin we leave it in original place using it as a night stand. Sometimes we set up as a queen and leave table outside on exterior mount. And sometimes with either above bed setup I store the table in back of my truck.

I just installed another Lagun table bracket near the entry/exit door. Keeps table out of the way.

@dxlc -- is it easy to install the extra bracket? (I'm not very DIY savvy).

Our preference was for relocating our Lugan mount to the drivers side. Some pros are that it doesn't block the door at night, doesn't block refrigerator, works as extra kitchen counter space, easy access to table seating ... YMMV

Night time / Travel position:

Dining position:

Kitchen counter position:

Sleeping, eating, cooking. Everything is accessible without reconfiguration other than swinging the table to the appropriate position.

@AnOldUR -- that is probably where I would have to put it in my T@B as my model has an access door where @dxlc put theirs. Is it an easy installation?

PNWtabber · November 2021

@AnOldUR -- love that cargo net, too. Can you provide info on where you got it and how it is installed?

Same here. We have a door where @dxlc mounted his. That said, if you like that position better, there's probably enough room to the left of the door. Either location should be an easy installation. I did add an extra long screw (see arrow) to reinforce where the wood attaches to the bathroom wall.

@AnOldUR. I really like that location for functionality. However I don't think it would be possible with a 2021 as the bed slats slide out from that location.

That cargo net was yet another Amazon purchase. We also use three of the same net under the rear cabinet for additional storage. In both locations we used the mounting components that came with the netting.

@Basil48192 - will the Lagun mount fit on the left border of the wetbath door?

Here is a picture of the top of that area. Is it wide enough?

We "twin sleep" so during the day the table is wherever it needs to be, open or not. At night we fold in the leaves and swing it around for a night stand. I scooped out what is normally face down so when folded up there is an edge to keep the pens and pills from rolling off. I disconnect the table top at the "leg joint", flip it upside down and strap it to the boiler bench so it's not putting undue stress on the table mount when towing.

@Sharon_is_SAM. Good idea. I'll get out there later today and measure it relative to the width of the Lagun bracket.

PNWtabber · November 2021

@Sharon_is_SAM, @Basil48192 -- I think I've seen other posts that the wall of the wet bath isn't structurally sufficient to be screwing things into. But I might be mistaken.

Sharon_is_SAM · November 2021

The wall to the left of the bathroom door is a 2 x 4. Many owners mount hanging hooks at the top.

Aha, good to know!

Basil48192 · November 2021

The space between the two corner molding pieces is too narrow for the Lagun table mounting bracket. I suppose you could cut the molding...or make a 'T' type adapter. I think I'll keep storing my table under the passenger bench. I may, however, install an articulating arm for a small, preparation table as others have done.

WayneW · November 2021

@fstop32, Very nice! We also sleep twin style and use the table as a night stand. This looks like a good winter woodworking project for me. I like the scooped out design.

fstop32 · November 2021

@WayneW, it has served us well, thank you. I used a piece of blue foam board taped on top of the Lagun table mounting plate and maneuvered it around until I arrived at a happy middle ground for the dining room and the bed side table function.

mgreen2 · December 2021

For those with 2021 and later T@Bs or twin bed mod, you can add a lagun mount to the front passenger side of the bed platform and put the table there. Mount it vertical and it works as a headboard so you can sleep with your head toward the front of the camper.

I bought a top on Ebay.

This fit perfectly.
