Hi Greg; The TK table in my '99 is 34" wide, so fold up only. The add on leaf is two feet wide so it will fit in the closet.  That earlier picture was of a 2001 MB and the table was only 24" wide so it would fit in the closet if you didn't want it deployed. I think that was the factory option, but there wasn't blocking in the back wall, so maybe added after the build. It had screw on legs that were from a previous owner, I think. I put hinges on it and attached it along with a fold up leg. I would have preferred the 34" wide version like on my TK.  The people I fixed this 2001 up for, wanted to be able to remove the table completely at times. I believe they put on removable pin hinges, to put that narrow table back in the closet.  I would check with Steve Newton to get the specifics of what table can be ordered. You would think that a standard TK type would be easiest.
   I agree with Rich that the post mounted tables are a non starter.  Good quality hinges, wide,  fold down leg. ( I put 6" of foam insulation on that fold down post leg, to protect my toes.)   Didn't know that they come with a power plug. I would put one in the back wall on each side, just under the edge of the table. Both 12vdc and 110VAC would be convenient. For lounging and sleeping. (C-pap and phone charging, etc.)      RonB

Thanks for your input, Ron. I agree with you and Rich on the post mounts. I’ve spent some time recently on the Escape forum and there are a couple popular ways folks are replacing post mounts on their trailers, this being one of them. Wondering if this mounting system would work on the rear lounge area of a LD?  Might require supplemental rear bulkhead reinforcement:

Hi Greg.  Well in a boat, it can be constantly moving, due to wave action. So you might want some after market solution. I don't recall ever seeing a post mount for a rear table in a Lazy Daze. I guess there are some. My TK fold up table is very stable with just the rear hinges and single folding table leg.    For the 2001 MB, I put in a lot of screws to spread the load on the back wall. I ran out of time, but it would have been easy to insert sufficient bracing inside the wall. Not as easy if it were done at the factory of course. As is, it also was very stable, with just the single folding table leg.    RonB

Greg we took the table and arm system from our VW Vanagon(or as we call it "the Wandergon") and mounted it in our 84 itaska for trips since we had removed the dinette for a couch setup which made the itaska way more roomy.  We liked the size of the VW table and it could swivel forward and fit in between the two front seats that also swivel.  We could have mounted a larger table top on that arm which was strong enough.   I have thought of coming up with a similar setup for the lounge in our 98 ~ MB but if we have that many people we eat outside which we prefer.
