One of the oldest features in a camper just HAS to be a dinette table. And of course it HAS to have always been convertible to make up a bed.
Of course mine is no different and the conversion uses a pedestal. I've never thought much about it until now but my parts camper came with an original style pedestal complete with floor and table flanges.
I'll show these in more detail further down the road, but suffice to say for now, the original is MUCH stouter than modern day pedestals. And the original has a lever close to the table that you use to easily pop the table off the tube.
The original tube and table flange were missing from Lil' Queenie, but the floor flange was still there so I had two to choose from. I took the flanges apart and used the best pieces. (The silver ring applies to the table flange - I think). Err no, I think it goes around the raised floor board, yeah that's it - the raised floor board! I think.
After sanding up the best base flange I primed and painted.
Then assembled and installed.
The front and rear screws are #10 by 1.5" and go into the plywood and the 2x2 framing. The other holes are just in the 1/2" plywood as original and are #10 by 1", so they're getting some grab in the insulation (just kidding).
