Abstract

The present invention relates to a Reversible Swivel and Slide Vehicle Table designed for use in vehicles such as trucks and recreational vehicles (RVs). The inventive table includes a table body, a mounting element, a rail with a swivel joint, a sliding latch mechanism, and a set of four extendable legs. The mounting element attaches the table securely to the rear of a front seat. The table's position is adjustable using the rail and swivel joint, and the desired position can be secured with the sliding latch mechanism. The extendable legs provide adjustable height and added stability. The table may also include a vanity set with a mirror, lights, and an extendible tray integrated into the table body. The invention enhances on-the-go convenience for eating and personal item management, offering flexibility, stability, and optimal space utilization within the vehicle.
