@mlb3820 Do you have the instructions for this mod posted online anymore? Do you still use the same setup?

mlb3820 sold his Oliver in March of 2019 and hasn’t posted since and the website he linked to is dead.  If you are looking for a timely response you might ask someone else your questions.

Overland's original mod is well- described on the first page of this thread.

Good luck in your table.

One of these days, maybe Santa will figure it out. 🎅

You didn’t mention it, so I guess Santa Paul didn’t figure it out yet. 🤔

Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Claus has worked on this idea in awhile. Lol.

We'll see what 2021 brings in mods. 2020 has been pretty busy.

If anyone is interested in doing this, I bought this but the wife decided against it. I am selling the parts here:

Thanks so much!   That looks perfect!   I didn't want to lose out on the basement door or the bedside drawer.   Great idea!

Oh you’re not talking me into that!  But I promise if I were retired I’d make them for everyone.

Are you retired yet?  😉  JK...sort of!  No access to the tools (or skills?) necessary to make ourselves one of these, but it might be the solution we are looking for for working on the road.

Just finished my install today of the side mount. Plan to use the table now.

Now I have a hatch into the basement, which I wanted for during cold  weather to get some heat to basement, while using a small fan. Will insulate the outside hatches at some point.

Thanks Overland for your post and Mattnan for your helpful hints.

Now all I need is the table top. And... a trailer. Only 5+ more months!!

I'm sure that Foy would be very happy for you to give him a call about that table top.

Both will surely look good in that new Ollie in five months.

Nicely done, Steve - I'll be starting one shortly!

That looks great! Nice job! 👍

Lagun Table Project Update:  Moved the table mount from night stand to street side bed rail using @Overland's detailed instructions:

Been wanting to finish this up since building the Lagun Table top last spring!!!  

Used a bandsaw to rough cut the four 45-degree ends - then finished them with an end cut bit on the mill:

Assembled finished parts and checked fitment on PORT side bed rail:

Used three 1/8" aluminum backing plates behind each of the mounting points:

View from underneath:

Completed new mounting area:

Now we've got nightstand drawer access with table in place - whereas before, the mount was just below the drawer making it impossible to gain access to the drawer with the table mounted there:

One and done - D approves and is happy, mission success!

Many thanks to @Overland for developing the initial design for this great mod!

Cheers, All!

Learned a long time ago - we don't sell guns, ammo, and TOOLS!

Art, nice work.  That is exactly where the previous owner of our Ollie mounted our Lagun.

Thanks, @Wandering Sagebrush!!!

Seems to really be the correct mount - almost seems silly to mount it below the nightstand drawer now...  

What's nice is that we can still drop the table onto the bed rails which fills the gap making a "dog bed" for the 2 Knuckleheads.

The table resides in the closet (inboard side) when not in use.  We have two inserts with foam cushions (that we haven’t yet used) to fill the gap between bunks.  When stacked on the curbside bed, they make a nice countertop extension.

Same here - belted to the bulkhead with footman loops and 1" tubular nylon strap.

Nice job.

Looks like how I relocated/nstalled mine, thnaks to @Overland and @Mattnan and their instructions and parts list . I did not see the holes where the mount was installed before you movd it. You must have filled the holes.

Now you can install a hatch into the cellar.

I store my table top in the closet on the inside wall next to the head, when not in use. I use velcro to secure it to the wall.

Correct!  The 4 mounting holes filled w/white silicone....
