I am sure everyone is aware of these two products.

https://www.na.rsismartcap.com/components/camp-kitchen
https://www.alu-cab.com/product/side-slide-prep-table/

I am looking to build, or have built, a custom option. The table top part I can do myself, what really am after is the frame or hinges of a system. I am looking to be able to have a table top (with other things) folded up and out of the way against the canopy door. When opening the canopy door I would like to have it fold down, similar to how the smart cap accessory works - but I need it to go MUCH lower. I don't like keeping my arms at shoulder height for cooking. It needs to be between the top of the tire and midpoint of the fender - so normal table height. I also want it to be able to flip up when 'stowed' in the canopy for inside cooking as well.

This will take some injunity and combination of components and hinges, but I am hoping someone here might have an idea already, or has cool CAD software that can mock something up. I do not have fabrication abilities/tools/location, and will have to farm out the guts of the components. I can make some very basic 'idea' templates out of some 1x2's to proof a concept, but still am hoping for some community input.

What are your ideas??

It might be better to mount tracks on the outside of the door and get the Harker EDC table arms/mounts.

Or something along these lines would work too...
Something like this might work but it needs to go lower, and it also needs to flip up to be usable inside as well.

The Harker EDC method really isn't going to work. I will have water and LP lines going to it so it has to be usable in place, not removable and stored generally in the bed.

I want to think a hinge system like the SmartCap idea would work, but with longer hinges. Then they could mount to the inside lip of the canopy itself as well.

I have the slide table from alu cab, but don't love it as my main table, it is great however for shower table on other side of canopy. check out this video, I think I am gonna try something like this along with the alu cab cupboard
