The Mrs loves the new van but has moaned (and moaned and moaned and moaned ...... you get the picture ) about the fitted table.
It is large, partly because it lowers down to make a bed, it could have been a bit smaller to start with. Anyhoo, I am in the throes of attending to this problem, the main one being that I generally sleep on it with the Pugs. The Boss is up on the rear fixed bed with 2 Whippets and a Jack Russell.
I bought a nice table top from IKEA, made of Beech. www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50106773/. It weighs a lot but I will only need half of it, so that is not too bad (we have lots of payload). The chap who fitted our Kitchen has agreed to do the cutting etc., all I need now are a couple of drop leaf hinges for one end and we are set. It will be narrower and shorter and I might get a bit of peace.

Barry might want to sleep with me though.
A fate worse than death.

Even harder when you're trying to eat breakfast off it!

A fate worse than death. Oh I dunno. Dont knock it until you have tried it. Ive never had any complaints! £70 for a bit of wood that your going to chop up FFS! A bit of chip board would have done and some of that Flowery Fablon stuff like this. You will spend all that money only for someone to open the overhead locker and a flipping great coffee jar will fall out and put a wacking great dent in it.

Barry, the wife said something similar as well.
If you have a lot in common with her, that would put your IQ at about the same as a Snail.

That wasnt me. That was that Aldra of FUCTS. Trashed the place she did. I would have invited them all back to my van but I lost it.
