It's nice to have stable, level table surface outside. The logical way to accomplish that is to attach it to the Rpod, but nobody wants to start drilling holes in the body. Here is a way to mount a table that requires one 3/8" hole in the top of a fender and uses gravity to hold things together.

 Rpod fender table
I used part of an old fold-up table, some scrap plastic, and other odds and ends. The white stuff is from an old cutting board. The washer that sits on the axle and rides against the lug nuts was cut from an old desk chair pad, using a hole saw for the inner circle and a bandsaw for the outer circle. The white saddle rides on the fender and the 5/16" bolt acts as a pin to hold the table in place.

That's a really nice table, Jerry.  I especially like the repurposing of all the parts you used.

John, I can see you not yet gotten your light recall done.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Two very nice solutions to a  problem everyone has with lack of flat surfaces to put shhhtuf. Sure beats my folding table from BJ's for innovation.

Here is mine.  Requires holes, but so what.  Use silicone and enjoy your Pod.
