Motorhome & Caravan Table Tops

Replacing an old or broken table top is important to improve the quality and overall experience in your camper. Safety is also an important reason to replace an old table top for a new one. But whether you’re looking to upgrade your current table top or simply renew a worn out one, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about replacing a camper table top on this page.

Replacing your camper table top can be important for several reasons. For example, a worn or damaged table top may need replacing, or you may simply be looking for a larger table. Below, we have listed several reasons for you to replace your table top.

✓ Worn or damaged

Over time, camper table tops can get worn, scratched or damaged through daily use. This can affect the aesthetics of your camper and reduce its functionality.

✓ Style and appearance

A new table top can significantly improve the look of your motorhome. You can choose a material and design that better suits your interior or gives it a more contemporary look.

✓ Hygiene

Older table tops can be difficult to clean and bacteria can build up in damaged or worn surfaces. A new table top can be more hygienic and easier to keep clean.

✓ Functionality

If you have specific requirements for your table top, such as a larger size or more functionality (e.g. expandable sections), replacing the top can make this possible.

✓ Maintain value

Renewing the table top can also help preserve the value of your camper, which is especially important if you’re considering selling or upgrading your camper at some point.

Below we list the most common materials and options for your new campervan table top!

Aluminium composite panels – ACP

ACP is another excellent choice as a material for camper table tops because of its specific properties and benefits. In short, ACP offers the advantages of being lightweight, strong and, above all, it is beautiful to look at, which makes it an attractive choice for camper table tops. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of ACP.

Measuring the right dimensions for the new table top is a precise job. Below we give you the main points to consider.

• The size of your new table top is largely determined by the frame underneath it.
• The thickness of your table top and the material determine the extent to which the top can stick out freely, without the support of a frame.
• If you go for a thin table top (thinner than 20 mm), frame support is required.
• If your table table will be screwed from the top, you can order your sheet with pre-drilled holes in it.
