I've been a wet blanket before on this Forum and here we go again. Why would one want to `carry' a picnic table on an RV when there are picnic tables at most of the campgrounds; at least the private ones. How does one get a 75 lb. table up on a rack even if one could be designed? How often would such a table get used?
It's easy to get on the rack, just pick it up. He said 75 lbs not 750. I have one and they are nice.
I would have a good welder add a receiver hitch to the back of the 5er and then build a rack for the table. The receiver hitch could be used for other things if not carrying the table.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I agree with getting a hitch put on to carry the rack. I haven't seen a bumper that I would be comfortable with anything more than a spare tire on it.
Why does everyone assume that everyone else camps in camp grounds? Myself, I hate camp grounds, and only stay in them when there is no other choice.Dick_B wrote:

The table folds up into a flat piece approximately 6 ft long x 4 ft wide x 2 inches thick and it unfolds in seconds. It is made by lifetime if you would like to look at them. We eat most meals outside and the table would be very convenient instead of having to hold your plate in your lap. I thought someone may have dealt with this before..
