Upon completion of the table and countertop finish, it was time to install. The first piece to go in was the countertop.
To the right of the range cutout, I fastened the counter with three screws into the fridge cabinet wall.
Along the back wall were three fastening locations.
Along the front edge, one here above the drawer,
and one above the front of the breadboard at the far end.
There were two more holes at mid and rear, along that same board, but I now found them unnecessary. There will also be 1 to 3 across the front edge of the sink, in conjunction with the sink-to-counter fasteners. That's because the front sink cutout is flush with the inside face of the cabinet - to allow enough space at the rear for the faucet - and that fact prevented a fastening cleat.

Then it was on to the table. I mounted the post hardware to the bottom of it,
and put it in place.
Of course it can also turn this direction.
In the normal position, there is just enough room to allow this cabinet access lid to raise - I just got a hinge on it a few days ago.
It can open fully and flat like this,
Or, if you turn the table a bit, it can be held up out of the way.
When making up a bed here, or when we are ready to lounge, the table goes down into the bed position,
and rests on these boards made from excess countertop/table aspen wood board, finished in the same cream coloring for contrast, and fastened with the same black screw/brass washer combo being used throughout the camper interior.
In fact, I had mentioned I added the extra screws to the green cushioned retainer board. Here's how that turned out.
I had also planned to hinge the center access cover here, but instead, prefer to simply lift all three of these out when needed. The center one (accessed routinely for a waste container) can simply be lifted in front with the little leather tab, as if it were hinged, but also removed completely when necessary. No hinge desired.
