Um . . .
Just by chance, I went back to the site where they sell the (real) Lagun table support and the price is now $275 ! (http://svhotwire.com/info/?p=772)
Could someone please double check ?
Maybe my bookmark isn't working right ?
Thanks.

I did a search and I think you have the correct site. The $275 is the price after the price increase.

Thanks, you are correct.
For some reason, I thought it was higher. . .
Considering how well it has worked out for you, I am reconsidering the relative 'pain' of that price

I know what you mean.

I bought my Hawk new and it has most of the options....out the door it was over $20,000. I figure a few hundred bucks to make the
camper much more usable and enjoyable is money well spent.

Me, too! I think I've stopped gagging on that price now... Every time I try to move the standard (2005 Hawk) table out of the way and yet still keep it accessible I think "there's gotta be a better way!"
I think it'll be one of those expenditures that improves my "standard of living" (or camping) so much that the price is reasonable. I guess I should look into ordering one now...

(It's like the very-nice high-end skillet I bought for home use a couple of years ago. I got it at a half-price clearance, which was great. But I found I use it every day and it works perfectly, and I now realize that if I'd had to pay the full ridiculous price it would have still been a good value!
It's more than just "you get what you pay for"...Sure, a $60k car really is a lot better than a $30k car, but the difference isn't of value to me.)

Well....that's two folks that want one. I make up the third. Just 5 more folks and you are back into your group buy numbers!

Refresh my memory: Was the "group buy" to get a better base-price or was it lower shipping cost?

I think it was 8 people needed for a 10% discount. Not all that much savings but that should more than cover shipping.

Yep, 10% is better than nothing...if the offer is still good...?

Here's one more issue to think about.

I mounted my Lagun mount into the side of the step area. It is 3/4" material and structurally rigid. This resulted in a "rock solid" table for my dinette.

For folks that have the couch arrangement....mounting the Lagun mount into the 1/2" material of the storage box...it might not be as solid. I originally had the couch and seem to remember there being quite a bit of flex in the walls of the storage box. For the couch arrangement I think I would need to think of some sort of reinforcement framework before mounting the Lagun mount.

Just food for thought...and a heads up.

I'll jump in on a Lagun group buy.
