Hey there, I am adding pergo floors to my bus and I am noticing that when I add the floors the table will not be able to close properly. I noticed some peopl have taken out th etable, and was curious as to any other solutions people have for keeping table. I realize I will probably have to raise table. Also Any other things to watch out for? Wondering if anyone has suggestions.

I have read the prior posts, nothing relating to this was found

Thanks for your time , Keep On V-Dubbin!!

Gary

gut the interior and remove the original lower wood layers...then the table will close. if you don't not only will the table not close but the frig won't open Wink

Doesn't the table leg screw in to kind of a T-nut? Why not just put a recessed T-nut into the pergo flooring?

Ya would love to see some more pics. Right now with my sub floor in, the table closes pefectly. But I can tell when adding the pergo the extra layer will cause table to not fully close.
