Electric table

[Denbri]

Not working. Never did properly. Dealer unhelpful after fitting new one!!!! Worked temperamentally but not for long. Wires connected at back of key housing. Wire connected to table base. Fuse changed. Still not working. Any advise welcome.

Welcome from Ciren!

What should your ‘electric table’ do….? I’m not familiar with your ‘van, I’m afraid.

Key used to raise and lower table - when it works

Electric table, good heavens above. What on earth made a motorhome designer think an electric table was a necessity.
I'd throw the thing in a skip and spend 20 quid on a camping table.

Hi Figaro - I agrée with your sentiment however it forms part of the 2nd bed

can you take it back to the dealers until they sort it, failing that is it possible to access the motor to test it and the wiring. it might be a process of elimination, not the answer you hoped for im sure, but if you can verify all the wiring and switches are correct and working, then it must be the motor/hydraulic pump (if thats how it works)

PS, an electric table was on my list of 'things i dont need, but it would be good to have' - now i am not so sure if they are that difficult to resolve problems with !

Thanks MrB - think you might be right

Did the dealer make any comments about why they replaced the table in the first place - presumably they suspected ‘something’ was wrong/broken……?

 

[Denbri]

Hi AndyPK - no no comments.

This is going the way of electric beds.

The extremes of laziness amaze me.
Not like it weighs a great deal

It is likely to use a linear actuator - an all in one unit with it's own limit switches. Electrically it needs 0v & +12v. Connect them one way it goes up, reverse them it goes down. Take a look inside the stem.
