Camper Table Mods

[@Newokie59]

Anyone else feel like: "Where you going?" "I'm heading over to Adam's for a bit."

[@bcbloc02]

That should do the trick!

[@sbrunner69]

Thanks for sharing Adam. Great job, just like I would have done it!

[@gardenman3]

That table was a great idea

[@andrewwilliston5798]

Great video, I admired how you resolved the issue you had with a simple solution you could handle on your own. An example for us all.

[@ericm8811]

Hey Abom79! Nice work! You and Abbey stay safe! Ride ride ride!

[@davehall7178]

Got to have room for the extra beer! Love it!

[@AbomAdventures]

Can’t buy Oyster City up in the mountains 😂

[@WreckDiver99]

Honestly? I'd just hardwire in that powerstrip. One less outlet plug hannging out, and then you could use a pancake box (1/2 height outlet box) to hold the connection points). Then you mount the power strip to that wood strap.

[@aquablue3803]

WOW You are a real Handy Man. That made it it look alot bigger. Enjoyed watching your travels. Living my dream

[@Petrochemtester]

Really enjoy the format and content of your videos! Keep 'em coming!

[@AbomAdventures]

Thank you!

[@rodneywroten2994]

Great set up Adam

[@mindyabusiness3807]

I think for me the best part of watching his videos is the amount if sweat equity you can see he puts into what he’s doing great job my man been watching for a while now

[@tattoos1988]

Love the mods Adam look at the amount of room you have gained through removing the built in stuff looking forward to more vids stay safe god bless

[@walterjoncas12]

A great mod. Lynne and I have looked at a number of RV's over the years. The bench type eating area never worked for me. I always felt they were made for 125 pound people. Fit Lynne but certainly not me. Thanks for allowing us to look over your shoulders.

[@crjudd]

Table looks good! You making me want a camper now! Enjoy.

[@edmullins4519]

Pool Noodles split and slide on chair rails each side, then bungee chairs together, works great, no scratches yet on mine!

[@StreuB1]

Yep!! One bungee around the legs to hold them together and thats all you'd need. Once you get to location, pop the pool noodle edge protectors off and the bungee and stow them away.

[@StreuB1]

Looks awesome dude!!! I personally like the traditional table and chairs over integral bench setup, no question.

[@joeylawn36111]

Great Job, Adam. For the chairs, get a bungee cord and put it on a back rib on each chair - this pulls them tight to the table when not in use.

[@richbrannon5562]

The wife and I love you and Abby's videos. We are looking for a RV, and as a big guy I would love to see a tour of you inside the trailer. How much room the bed has, do you fit in the shower (they all are so small) do you feel safe on the stairs. This would be a great help to us and all the other big folk out there.

[@AbomAdventures]

I have a video from last summer when we first bought our trailer. Check it out and it shows more detail of the inside.

[@seanhorton3811]

Looks like those outside legs of the table are going to create a tight squeeze to get into the chairs. If that is the case, you might consider doing a mod to the table. Leave the lags next to the wall and remove the outside legs. Replace them with two of the center post legs from the original table mounted in the middle like the old table. You will have plenty of stability from the wood table legs and the room to get in with the center post legs.

[@waynespyker5731]

YES to above leg locations also hard wire the power strip with a pancake box. But first put a generous radius similar to the OEM table on the aisle table top corners.

[@jayh8490]

awesome improvement. what kind of hammer is that when you were putting the carpet on the plywood?

[@AbomAdventures]

Custom made by Brent Baily but given to me by Essential Craftsman

[@jayh8490]

Its very nice. I want one lol

[@SAVAGE_IRON]

great upgrade!

[@robertfox345]

A small part of me wants to see you indicate that table top Adam! Haha, great mod, well done 👍

[@mitchs323]

A camper is a kit you learn how to reassemble as you go along!

[@brosselot1]

Looks good. Chairs won't move. Good thinking on the new flooring.

[@mdvener]

And a carpenter to boot. Nice work. You have to make it work for you.

[@WreckDiver99]

Like Tom Sellek said in "Quigley Down Under"; "I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it." Kind of similar. :)

[@greasydot]

Very nice job Adam. You sweat like I do. I can only imagine the b humidity down there. I am up by San Antonio and we don't have the constant humidity off the gulf.

[@jcl1201]

2 eye bolts small ones on either side under the table to hook a Bungee cord to hold chairs in place while traveling.. we did the same thing in our first travel trailer

[@Coffieman5150]

Nice, I like the look of the table Adam, Though I might suggest small bungee cords for the chairs.. There small and fit in drawers with ease.

[@jeffadams9863]

Make sure the bracket screws dont penetrate the slide out subfloor, otherwise you will hve some nasty scratches in the linoleum

[@GregsShop]

Get a pool noodle and cut it in 4 pieces. Slit it with a knife down one side. It will slip on to the vertical sides of the chair backs and keep them from getting banged up. You can hold them in place with Velcro straps or zip ties.

[@Dave-in-MD]

I think the shaper would have been a better choice for cutting the plywood.

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

Adam, I think I like these Adventures Vlogs as much if not more than your machinist channel. I enjoy the machining videos but it's something I'm probably never going to be able to do. While your Adventure videos often puts you in places that I frequent, and things I like and stuff I can actually do.

[@AbomAdventures]

It’s just sharing the things we enjoy and get into. I’m glad there’s folks who enjoy them 👍🏻

[@lesleyboeder1798]

I think I would put somthing on the floor.as the chair legs are very small and will put a lot of pressure on the floor in very small areas I see you addressed that issue.

[@georgevanhaezebrouck8809]

Think you might have been a couple thou off on your plywood cut😂😂😂

[@WreckDiver99]

Was waiting for him to pull out some Abom sized Mics (you know the 4 to 5 footers and 7 to 8 footers) to measure that up...LOL

[@georgevanhaezebrouck8809]

WreckDiver99 Exactly he talks about thousands like they were miles

[@WreckDiver99]

@@georgevanhaezebrouck8809 lol...for us wood workers that's like too good, for machining? It is miles...It's why I'm not very good working with wood...I want everything to be perfect, where most quality woodworkers are "meh, 1/64'th of an inch? might be too tight when the humidity kicks in"...LOL

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Looks great... :-)

[@marklockwood7592]

If you just bungee the chairs to the table, they will get beat up (dented) from the bumps and vibration of travel. Put a piece of foam rubber between the chair and the table and then bungee.

[@csnelling4]

Great one Adam 👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺🍺

[@kinotransam]

You're no interior designer, either lol. That carpet doesn't match anything in that camper. Just ribbing ya a little. Nice work Man 💯

[@AbomAdventures]

You’re wrong though! The other piece of carpet has tan in it so yea! 😂 The white table was more expensive and wouldn’t deliver in time. I went with what worked.

[@AnnAnderson-pe2un]

The only problem I see is how do you get in and sit on the chair because when you slid it around the table you have to constantly move the chair to the wall to get your legs in and then what move it over scooting with your butt. It doesn't look like there's enough room for a body to fit through when you pull out the chair. And you're going to need cushions at the back of the chair and on the seat of the chair you're not going to be able to sit more than an hour on that hard chair working on your computers??

[@tonywheeler5173]

power strip should go directly under the window, abby wont have to crawl under the table

[@willford8475]

Beer under the bed - great! 🍺🍺

[@dfl0415]

Smart!

[@georgeescaped6035]

attach the table at the wood strip on the legs with your 'L' brackets

[@donnawagener635]

Look awesome

[@AnnAnderson-pe2un]

Also it seems like the power strip should have been above the table. Crawling on the floor or under the table and with bad knees as you get older computer station should have plugins at computer level if a laptop. They do have power station where you can put at table level from floor socket. Also talking of storage drawers. Same problem you need that space to get into the chair. I don't think you're going to be able to have any kind of storage at all. I still don't see you guys sliding into those chairs properly.

[@AnnAnderson-pe2un]

Also I would have done different chairs that are comfortable office chairs and yes I may have meant a smaller table but it would be more comfortable for long hours. I mean people sit at an office chair at a desk at home not at their dining room set. I don't want to be somebody that says it's not a good setup but I would not have done this I know because I sat at dining room tables and a lot of people did during the pandemic and they had to switch to office chairs.

[@frankmitzen1162]

Good mod, they use very small d rings to strap down the chairs and table

[@georgevanhaezebrouck8809]

Should mount the power strip right on top of the table

[@AbomAdventures]

Why take up the table space and have an unwanted eyesore on top of the table

[@ionstorm66]

And if you ever spilled a drink it would be right in the strip. Speaking of you might want to put some weather strip or caulk between the table and wall to keep out crumbs and such.

[@georgevanhaezebrouck8809]

Abom Adventures sure beats having to struggle to bend down and trying to plug something in, in those tight confines. Of course I’m an old guy so bending isn’t my strong suit.

[@georgevanhaezebrouck8809]

Tim Hunter well with that gap between the wall and table that power strip is still in harms way. Maybe mount it on the wall right under the window

[@peteypops]

I don’t know why you put such small chairs in..a couple of aircraft seats maybe. With a drop down table.

[@davidmerullo551]

Never heard of spray glue to hold that carpet down eh? Haha

[@craigleemehan]

17:11 ha.

[@davidmerullo551]

craigleemehan huh

[@ionstorm66]

Spray glue wouldn't hold up to foot traffic and chairs.

[@davidmerullo551]

Tim Hunter no no. The spray glue is to hold it still and tight while you staple the carpet.
