Hey all, just completed a mod to my Hawk. I took out the stock single leg table which always seemed to be in the way and worst of all, not available when the dinette was in rollover bed mode. 

 

In short, I used black iron piping to create a swivel frame and mounted that to the FWC table. I would like to get a nicer folding table at some point, but the frame is the important part. While the iron piping is heavy, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome, it screwed together so easily and is very solid. 

 

All of the parts cost about $50 at Ace Hardware. You could cut that down further by using PVC pipe in some parts of the table mounting frame, just be sure they connect to the metal parts well enough. 

 

From design to completion this took about four hours. I'm sure I wasn't the only guy wanting something like this. Enjoy.

That looks like it'll work, but it also looks awfully heavy.

 

I rarely use my side dinette, but this is what I did and it's pretty light:

I ordered the hardware from Home Depot:

They're called "Standard Pipe Sleeves."  

 

Here's a link to them on Home Depot:
