Folding Din.Rm. Table Cabinet Box removal...
Hi ~ I have a 1994 22ft. Rear bath model.
 I'm wondering if you would be kind enough to tell me how to remove the box that the folding table is hinged on, that is mounted to the wall -?  -Or, at least the top of it?  Of course there is no clue visible of where the attachment points are...

Many thanks for any help offered!    ~ Gary

I think it easier said than done, there are a lot of conversations about removing cabinetry. As they say, glued, screwed and tattooed. Almost impossible to remove in one piece.

Gary,
  I think I'd pull the 120v outlet and give it a look with a flashlight or endoscope.

My suggestion would be to use a Multi Master type tool with a metal and wood everything cutting bit, then you can slice through the MANY screws LazyDaze folks used to assemble it and attach it in the camper.  Figure that it may have been screwed from the outside before the camper was fully assembled.

I am by no means nearly as knowledgeable as most LD owners, but after reading a lot of information on this site, I can say with confidence the following statement:

It is highly possible that removing the box would damage the wall, so I would reconsider leaving it. If you are going to remove it, plan on spending a lot of time doing it because it was built never to be removed.

Owning two Front Lounges, for twenty-eight years, I'm very familiar with the table/battery box.
The top part of the box is mostly empty except for the wiring passing through it. I have cut the box open and used the wasted space, here are photos of what to expect to find inside.

Removing the box will require relocating the coach battery, several breakers, and a lot of heavy wiring, which is certainly not a beginner's project. I have no idea where you would relocate everything, there is no close by empty space.

As previously mentioned, removing the box will destroy it and possibly badly damage the wall. Liam's suggestion to use an oscillating tool with a wood/metal blade to cut the box free is a good idea.
Removing the box isn't such a great idea.

Thanks for the pics, Larry!   I mainly wanted to see what's inside, how much empty space is available in there. Only interested in using the upper area, as you showed.

Thanks, all!
