Folding tailgate table protrusion

[Gaston the Grenadier]

Can anyone who’s got the folding tailgate table tell me how far it protrudes from the door when in the folded/stored position?

I’m travelling up to Kidderminster (APB Trading) to check out their new delivery of drawer systems for my 5 seater Utility.

I’ve got a folding tailgate table on order, but am concerned that the drawers and folded table are going to try and share the same space!
No point ordering both if they’re not compatible.

Looking at APB’s screenshots of their drawer system, there’s not a lot of room to play with.

It’s about 30mm proud. I’ll ping you a photo of the tape measure if yo are happy to wait till morning.

Thanks very much. That’ll be really helpful.
I’ve got a use for both, so might have to have drawers made bespoke as opposed to off the shelf.
But 30mm looks like it might just fit. Fingers crossed.

The table is 30mm. Having measured it now, the whole assembly sits 60mm off the back door, but it no deeper that the lower door catch..

Is it APB or ARB?
Is there a website link you can give us for this drawer system?

What’s the black strap for? Bottom right hand side of your door?

Looking at the pictures for the APB drawers, I think it will be very tight with the rear table.

My drawers are set back a further 15mm (although my drawer handles do stick out further) and I have my fingers crossed that the rear door table will fit. From my measurements, my drawer handle (right hand side) should fit into the centre well of the table when folded. I know I do not have clearence to the frame edge.

I'll update further if I ever get the rear table!

Can you post a couple of pics side on to show how far the top deck and drawers protrude.
Also, have you lost access to the Jack cubbyhole?

No problem, I‘ll take some pics when I get home later.

I have relocated the jack into the rear of one of the drawers. I have movable partitions that I have positioned to create a tight fit, and it seems to work well. I was going to get the top board made with cut outs to still allow access to the jack, but on balance, I didn’t think it was worth it, as it would have meant relocating either my fridge slide or water tank.

The other option considered was to hinge the top board, to allow access. Again discounted, as it would have meant removing everything just to get at the jack.

As requested.

Probably easier to see the gap with the left hand door. It’s going to be tight, but I think it will work.

All academic until the table actually arrives!

Yes, I’m in the same boat, but I’m pretty confident the table won’t clash. Fingers crossed.

Having my folding tailgate table delivered on Tuesday, courtesy of Nationwide Windscreens, who will be fitting my new windscreen on Grunter the Grenadier.

Will finally put to rest the “Drawer/tailgate table interface” debate. Pictures to follow, either of the undamaged drawers and table, or of the returns label to my Ineos Supplier. Hopefully the former.

Update on drawer/picnic table interior.

The good news is that with the folding table fitted, there’s still approx 10mm clearance with my Big Country drawer system. Probably 10mm clearance from the drawer handles to the underside of the table as well.
So definitely bear in mind if you’re fitting your own drawer handles. 30mm is about right.
