Flimsy, ugly, old—no matter the state of the table in your RV, you’re here because you don’t love it. These RV table ideas will help you determine what type of table will work in your rig and your space.
Depending on your needs and preferences, you can choose from a few different types of RV dining tables. If you’re in a large fifth wheel or motorhome, you have a lot more options open than a tiny travel trailer!
Whatever size RV you have, there’ll be an RV table that suits you and how you like to travel.
So here are a few RV table ideas to get you started.
Fixed Tables
Fixed tables are a more permanent solution and are great if you have a large RV or entertain often. Of course, it means you can’t move the table around. But chances are that there is only one place in your RV where the table will fit anyway.
1. Pedestal table
Pedestal tables are great because there are no table legs in your way! While they are in a fixed location, it is possible to remove the table in many cases or adjust the height.
Another benefit of a pedestal table is that you can just buy the leg and attach whatever table top you like.

2. Adjustable RV table
There are many different brands of adjustable RV tables, but Lagun is probably the most well-known in the RVing world.
The leg of the table may be in a fixed location, but the table top can be swiveled in all directions. See the video below for more on how this adaptive table works.
3. Breakfast Bar
With all of the RV renovations I’ve seen, I’ve seen a few people opt for a breakfast bar set-up. I love this new trend because it opens more floorspace, allows you to face your windows, and allows you to choose chairs instead of a dinette bench!
You could even install a bar that folds down, freeing up extra space when needed.

4. Dinette
And the classic option. The dinette booth! Standard in most RVs, you can swap out your tabletop and leave everything else in place.

5. Freestanding table
With so many dining tables to choose from online, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to free-standing dining tables.
Look for something that fits your space, is lightweight and can be assembled once you get it inside the RV.

Foldable tables
Foldable tables are a great option if you want an adaptable space. If you have a small RV, a foldable table would be ideal to use and then store away.
6. Wall Mount Fold Down Table
I’m sure you’ve seen examples of tables that are folded down from the wall.

I really like these ones that can be created with artwork on the back
Or there’s this one that converts from shelves on the wall, to a table.

7. Dining Credenza
More popular in large motorhomes a couple decades ago, these are great options particularly if your dining area doubles as your home office.
8. Folding table
Sometimes, it’s the simple solutions that work the best.
A folding table can easily be used in an RV, but you can also switch out the top to be more attractive, like the above renovation.

A few things to keep in mind when looking for an RV table:
Weight of the table – the challenge is always to keep the weight inside your RV to a minimum. So this is likely to impact that size of table that you purchase, and what material the table is made from.
Size of table – don’t forget that you’re going to need to get your new table inside your RV! Make sure that it can be assembled once inside the RV, and that all the pieces are going to be able to fit i the door.
