TV Table for 9" TV/VCP
Photos and text by John Combs

We wanted to use our nine inch TV/VCP in our Odyssey during long trips.  Nothing settles our kids down during a long day's drive like a good movie (or two)!  The TV floor stand from my old Plymouth Grand Voyager just didn't work in the Odyssey so I pitched it and began dreaming of something better.

I had several requirements for this table.  First,  the TV needed to be close to eye level to ward off motion sickness. It also had to prevent the TV from becoming airborne in the event of an accident.  It needed to replace any cup holders it covered up plus provide some storage for front and rear passengers.  It couldn't take up too much of my existing shoulder room.  Finally, the legs must collapse for compact storage.

Father-in-law Doug Reynolds examined bkranch's photos on the Yahoo Odyssey Club's site, made a few modifications and built one out of birch plywood.  He presented the finished product to me for my birthday.
