Lagun table mount


shhQuiet

Recommended Posts

I have ordered the twin-bed LE2 with a Lagun table.  It occurs to me now that the Lagun table will block opening the nightstand drawer.  I was wondering if it was possible to mount the Lagun table on one of the sides rather than in the center.  I plan on keeping one side made up permanently as a bed and the other side with some pillows to use as a couch.

Curious if it would be possible to add it myself or would Oliver do it and instead get the basement access...

The platforms search tools are limited...I just recalled the specific post.

We have the Lagun Table which blocks the drawer, and hardly ever use it...but each person's use model is different.

Lagun Table Package.pdfLagun Table Package.pdfFYI: We've received our Lagun hardware this week and I'm looking forward to installing it onto the nightstand base below the drawer (because we don't have the storage hatch option).  Should we decide in the future that we "need/want" the hatch I'll build the side mount designed by Overland that moves the table/assembly to the street side by attaching to the underneath surface of the bed lip and the vertical bulkhead just below it.  

So, to answer your question:  NO.  You don't have access to the nightstand drawer (or the storage hatch, if so configured), but this is only when the vertical Lagun table is positioned in the mounting bracket.  The side mount option allows the entire assembly to swing around to the street side giving access to the drawer (and the hatch).  I know it's obvious but, if the table/assembly is stowed your drawer/hatch is accessible (DUH).  The plus side to either table mount position, at least for us, is that should you have another person or couple over for entertainment, it allows for up to a 4-person seating arrangement.

The side mount is definitely a DYI project.  I'm planning to post a thread of my step-by-step Lagun retrofit project milestones later this week.  I'll be making a mahogany folding tabletop that will function in either a narrow or "unfolded" wider mode as an earlier member posted, FYI.  It will also serve as a gap filler between the twin mattresses with a puppy pad for Magnus' bed at night (WOOF!).  Ha!

Anyhow, hope this helps out some...  Cheers!

I'm hoping the order of the pix stays intact after posting.  If so, each pic has a description below it, FYI.

The Lagun hardware arrived here when I was on travel last week.  We ordered it from Lagunusa.com directly.

OK, so I started the Lagun Table installation a couple days ago.  I installed the main leg mounting bracket first.  Leveled rig fore/aft and port/starboard to get a good level on the bracket.

My hardwood lumber supplier here was totally out of mahogany, so I decided to go with American red oak instead, I know - heavier and not as interesting as mahogany, but we've scheduled a long weekend camping trip this Friday and I wanted to get this table knocked out.  We'll call the oak version a temporary bookmark for the time being.  I glued/dowelled 4 pieces of 1/2" x 5.5" x 48" oak to get a tabletop dimension of 20" x 32", FYI.  I used the extra wood for the table mount plate and cross spars (shown in later pix).

image.thumb.jpeg.d46c9afd7edc06ab1984fff8d3d79809.jpeg

The second pic above, shows the grooves on either side of the underneath portion of the table - the grooves are for when the table is in the "Puppy Mode."  They fit over the twin bed lips to hold it in position when either towing or when Magnus is sleeping on it.  This stage was for fitting purposes.

image.thumb.jpeg.4ede77a0274bab03b621a7c7849101eb.jpeg

This one illustrates how the grooves fit over the twin bed lip.

Above shows fitting cross spars and mounting plate on underneath side of tabletop.  Spars and plate are glued and screwed to keep table flat and reduce cupping as humidity cycles up and down.

After a few coats of Watco natural oil/sealer, this shows the fitment of the Lagun hardware (in storage/Puppy mode).

Ready to set up...

In tabletop dining mode - height is adjustable to well above nightstand so tabletop can be swiveled either direction...

If it turns out that we need more access to the nightstand drawer, we'll re-mount to the street side twin bed rail as described in earlier posts in this thread.  The drawer is accessible in the Puppy Mode - so it can be opened at night for whatever is needed inside.  I initially wanted to construct the tabletop with folding sides as described in another earlier post, but that wouldn't have allowed for the Puppy Mode.  For now, the table configuration will get us thru this coming weekend trip!  HA!

Did you use any backing or bracing on the other side of the fiberglass? Or is the fiberglass strong enough to hold the weight?

We pick up our E1 on May 8th and plan to install a similar table mount on the curbside.

Thanks, David Purkey

Not sure for other model years, but for my 2021 Elite 2, I can access the the drawer by taking the top cover off. It's only held down by Velcro straps.

2021 was the last year the cutout was under the nightstand top. It has now been eliminated and a taller drawer installed.

I believe if you look at his very first picture, you will see a piece of plywood with holes in it. I think that is the bracing for the inside of the fiberglass.

Thanks Brian. I saw that but wondering if that is strong enough. I don't know anything about the strength of fiberglass so I guess I need to do some research on this. Don't want to damage ours when I install the lagun table mount.

The Lagun hardware packet came with a 3/8" thick piece of plywood for the backing bracket.  I chose to use a piece of 3/16" aluminum plate (same width/length dimensions as the plywood piece) as the backing bracket.  It's a bit bigger than the backing plate used for the TV mounting hardware, FYI.

Correct!  Our 2017 has the cutout/storage tray underneath the nightstand top.  

Funny story:  Just yesterday, we discovered a cutout/storage area underneath the countertop just below the pantry locker.  So guess what was stored inside of it?  A (what appears to be) brand new Foy kitchen sink mahogany cutting board!  SCORE!!!  The sad part of the funny story is that I made a bamboo cutting board custom fit to the sink - now we have two!  HA!

Our model (Hull #226) has a "wooden tray" underneath the velcroed nightstand top - it doesn't access the contents of the drawer....  But is a nifty storage area nonetheless...

These two locations used to be an OTTO secret!  I guess the cats out of the bag!

I have the same wooden tray but it sits on a ledge and I can easily lift it and access the contents of the drawer. Is yours not removable?

NOPE.  The ledge the tray rests on if fixed - I may. need to "un-fix" it!  HA!
