We've had our 2004 Hymer 680 Starline for 4 years now and absolutely love it. There is one thing however that has niggled me from day one and after much persuasion, I have managed to get hubby to agree that it needs to go - the table! It's one of those huge, over engineered monstrosities on a central pedestal that can be moved forwards and sideways and also lowered to make a bed. We've never used it as a bed and can't see that we ever would, therefore not only does it take up valuable space, payload, lounging space when entertaining (it's always me that ends up straddling the pedestal!) but I can't reach into the cupboards above it!
Now for the questions! We don't want a freestanding table and are looking at the swan neck option, with a much smaller table, attached to the seat locker. It's booked to go into Peter Hambiltons next month for some remedial work and we're going to have the table modification carried out at the same time. So, do we re-purpose the original table or go for a completely new one? We're aware it may affect resale value if we haven't got the original. What size table should we go for? Has anyone done the same mod and got ideas/pros and cons? Any thoughts and pictures much appreciated. I've added a before picture to give you an idea of the size it is today - it's an old photo I hasten to add and that hideous upholstery has long gone! I can't give measurements at the moment as the van is in storage. Thanks in advance - Kim
