Even more modifications
These are some more modifications we have made to our T-160.

This is a picture of the table leg modification we made.

The straight post table legs that came from the factory were always so difficult to get loose. We pulled so hard, wiggled the tables so much, and even used a rubber mallet. Every night when we wanted to turn the table into our bed, many cusswords were used to get the table legs loose. I finally found the solution. I saw a picture of these table legs on the Cikira RV site and immediately knew this was the solution.

 

I ordered the legs made by Elixir Industries, from our local RV dealer, who ordered them from Carter Distributors. They come in two heights, the ELX-FL275 is 27.5 inches tall and the ELX-FL295 is 29.5 inches tall. They only cost me $18 each and are easy to install. Now we simply fold the legs up and put the table in place as a bunk. These legs also make the table much more stable and now the table can be used anywhere, even outside.

Table legs from a dog's view...
Here you can see how simple the legs mount to the table.  I used the old floor sockets to hold a shockcord which is pulled up and hooked onto each table leg during travel to keep the table from moving around.  I simply drilled a hole in the bottom of each old leg socket and put the cutoff end of a shock cord down through the hole.  I knotted the shock cord and now the cord slips down through the hole and the hook nests right in the old socket when we are in camp..  When traveling the shock cord is pulled up tight when hooked to the leg, so nothing is hanging underneath the trailer.
