A 90* swing out table from the tailgate is a damn good idea, I might look into this. Thanks for the ideas!

Personally I just use a rubbermaid folding table that I keep in the back on my truck. I have never really understood the ones that are attached to the truck, they leave you tethered to the vehicle. I like to take the table to where we are, like near the fire, the picnic table or the beach etc.

Granted this only works if you have a truck and space to carry the table. I am going to be building my drawer/sleep platform this year and part of my design is going to be a slot under the drawer for the table. That way I can slide it out and use all the regular truck tables, but still take it out and use it around.
