@17triton hey mate I'm going to do the tri fold. Where did you purchase the leg from?
Are you happy with how much you cut off the sides. I find it way to wide from factory.
Did u re use the side edging cheers

We got the leg from Bunnings for $14 which was good but first weekend away and the center bolt has stripped so will have to tack weld it or strengthen it somehow.
Width of the table now is terrific I cut 130mm off it and now its 600mm wide.
My neighbour did all the edging at his joinery with new edgeing.

Try JB Weld glue first. I used it on the accelerator pedal and rudder support on a ski boat we had and it survived really well. We used the boat a dozen times and the glued joints held. Beats an ugly looking tack weld.

Yep they are too wide in the 17:58-3 . It's pretty much what stopped me following up on a factory trifold as they couldn't tell me the width.

Great job @17triton super professional.

when we got our dinette made 150mm wider ,so our daughter could fit in it length wise, for the bed converter we found the table was too wide before and perfect now .
Jayco left the table the original width

That looks great @17triton . Love the material. I'm a tad confused as to why, though? It won't keep the light out at night. Or is it to keep prying eyes from "adult time" lol. I have to ask, where is the doona cover from. I am looking for something similar for my van. Love the colours! And love the anti slip matting on the tops of the cupboards. I am such a newbie lol would never have thought of that :oops:

Crusty doesn't have that problem.

He must hide behind his diesel heater.

I'm interested in the non slip on top of the cupboards. I guess it stays there all the time and wouldn't affect the pop top drop? And to make sure the stuff put on top of cupboards stays where it's put? TV etc?

It's a good idea, methinks.
