I have a crack in my drop down table which was caused when we had our washing machine set up next to it and must of been leaning on it while filling the machine with a hose. Lesson learned!!! I'm guessing it's a trip to the plastic welder . Anyone else cracked theirs?

How is your washing machine set up when you van is set up? Interested as I have done a mock up of ours and am wondering how it'l work. Thx Pace.
I purchased a plastic welding kit from the US, its fantastic. Might be worth looking at. I used it to repair a lid on my jet ski, and it worked perfectly, and now I have the kit for other little jobs like yours.

The decals are probably dearer than the table. I know the tables are dear as poison. I Find with plastic welding, you know it has been repaired and you need same filler material. That's only what my plastic welder tells me when I get my kayak fixed, but that's simple plastic, same as black water pipe. Not sure what plastic they use in a table!
Bugger!

There's no decals on mine which is good. I haven't had time to see a welder to see if they can fix it?
You will love having a washing machine. You just need to figure out the drain. I had a minor hiccup when I had a bit of sink water come up the washing machine drain pipe. (Glad i was there). Since rectified.
Next handy appliance would be a dryer. We had 3 days of rain recently, it crossed my mind.

@davemc the plastic welding kit I have uses a modified tip on a gas soldering iron. You can buy the correct plastic types in rods to use to weld, or as @macca mentioned, you can sometimes pinch some plastic from elsewhere on the damaged item to use as the filler to ensure the correct plastic type and colour.
Most plastic items have an indicator somewhere on them as to what the plastic type is, as you must use the correct plastic when welding.
There is quite a bit of info on the net on how to do it.
