Took an idea we saw from another posting on adding drawers but on a 179. Took that same idea to our 190....got rid of the table and put in a Lagun table that swivels out of the way. Added reinforcement to the mount for the table. take it off and flip upside down on the cushion for travel. the drawer boxes were sized to not block the pass thru opening....i think 16"wide x 22" deep x 10" high. the first pictures are of both sides, the left, and the right. the boxes were mounted on 1 x 2 to not interfere with the main framing. Also the 2 slat boxes in the pictures are just my storage boxes. https://postimg.cc/VJW6LNtz">  https://postimg.cc/47CFLX8h">  https://postimg.cc/FfkBVYx4">  This is going to allow much much easier access to this storage area without having to take the cushions and plywood off to retrieve something under the bench when you are inside. the next pictures are with the original plywood with the drawer cutouts. https://postimg.cc/VJgfPVy6">  https://postimg.cc/ZW4bghM2">  the next picture is with the drawers pulled out and then with the benches put back together with the table mounted. https://postimg.cc/YGhq3fsS">  https://postimg.cc/RNcCX0Xw">  https://postimg.cc/Cdnxn78P">  https://postimg.cc/JGw4NXc1">  I used 1/2 " plywood for the framing and 1/2 " birch plywood for the drawers. Used different pulls on the drawer fronts to minimize a leg getting nicked. Used the minwax dark walnut and gray combination from a different thread. overall, great project that will get used all the time. now it is time to deepen the other drawers. ------------- 2019 RPOD 190 2017 Chev Colorado 4 X 4 Yellow Lab and English Springer Spaniel |

How do you like the folding table? I'm thinking of getting one for my Lagun setup.

love the folding table....i bought this one from Lagun who made the mount....the way you can swivel it around to different positions and lock it in place makes the dinette way more useable even if it is to just sit....no bulky table in your way. i kept the old table, took the legs off, so it can be used as the bed platform as needed. ------------- 2019 RPOD 190 2017 Chev Colorado 4 X 4 Yellow Lab and English Springer Spaniel |
