Table storage under bed hatch

[Adam G]

Today I attached some pipe saddles to my table, this is a huge improvement on the old method of 'chuck the broom in and hope it stays still long enough to close the lid'.

While I had a day pass to the shed I also fitted some reverse park sensors and HID head lights to the new BT50.

What a clever use of space, might have to steal this one

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the sullage hose in there, for now it's a case of chuck it in and quickly shut the lid.

I'm mid way though a strap system for mine. I'll post some pics over the weekend when it's done. Maybe something you can use.

Hi there. Its probably a silly question but do you have the table strapped in there????? What a great idea.

I did the same after seeing it on here. I haven't used straps or screwed anything on, all I did was sit the edge of the table on some thick anti slip rubber and put some between the table and the bed base.I then cut some pool noodle to take up the gaps either side and pushed them in at the bottom......can't really move anywhere!

Weve done the same and use those interlocking rubber mats either side of the table to hold it snug and stop marking

Here is mine. I've used webbing straps so it stays in place when the bed is folded down for overnight stops when you don't need to set up the table.

I've used a couple of grunt flat elastic straps to stop mine moving.

How is that table held in place?
Is it just sitting there leaning back?

Hi Lisa, Here's a pic of my table, like i said the noodles stop it from moving sideways and it sits on anti slip rubber also. I wonder if you or anyone else can pick what's wrong in this pic!
