Sometimes Bunnings have the trestle legs for their folding tables. Or you could buy a table and take the legs off. From memory I paid about $30 for mine. You can get a complete table now for about $45.

the slide out kitchen on my cavalier has legs that drop down but are adjustable in length.
i was thinking along the lines of modifying 2 tent poles, keeping the screw-in section as your adjustable bit.
PS having the legs adjustable is quite handy IMHO

I'm with Howie. Infinitely adjustable legs which can each be at different heights make uneven ground (and it usually is) easy to deal with.

Garfield,
You're delicious; beautifull indeed.
Quote. "I think it will be the last".(Gramps voice-over. Hahahafn ha.)
Strewth Garfield, the older I get, the more advice I need. (And YES, that does include morning medication: along with 7L of synthetic oil in a 6L sump: oh dear no drain plug, eh.Sheesh!
If you missed that, I'm glad.

But never mind my seriously degraded mind: MrBitchi is spot on: (IMHO). Go for a free-standing Chinese-made table.
Why tie yerself to the trailer?
Our table measures, I dunno.1400x550x80 maybe,($60?, 4 years ago. (Price has dropped). and it's served us brilliantly.You could almost put it on a chain an' drag it behind, it's so forgiving.
At the price,(if you can't buy the legs singly) you could buy a
table and dissect/reassemble the whole sheebang.
Don't let the "Modular People" con you into telling you what you need - ever.
Onya buddy

I made legs for my kitchen using 3 different widths of square steel rods and telescoping them to extend down (have a look at photos on rig page).

Cost about $15 to buy steel and couple of hours to weld. This steel is easy to weld as it's 1.6mm thick.
Welded a link from chain onto a bolt to secure legs in place. The legs are very strong.

Other than that buy a table with legs on already and work out a way to secure to end of kitchen. Don't make it too complicated, keep it simple. You may have to take legs off every time rather than fold them up.

Garfield,

My Trak Shak kitchen ,which attachs to the rear door lfts off so you can get the cooking done away from the CT. It has 2 fold down legs fitted underneath - not adjustable but then again how many times does one camp on ground that is not reasonably flat. Oh and I carry a $35.00 chinses fold out table as well for meal preparation too and use it for the duel fuel stove.

Cheers

I made a copy of a drifta kitchen and this is how I did my end legs.

They are cut down tent poles.

Mate the "Chjnese" made table is moulded plastic, sitting on 20mm box-section steel, with H style trestle legs.Various sizes, and stocked by many hardware and outdoor retailers.
Legs could easily be made adjustable.
Just a thought.
Jeff.

Garfield, I just tried to post an image, but the gremlins are at play.
Is there an email address I could try?
Don't know if you want to publish an e address. I wouldn't.
Anyway, these tables are pretty common now. My last post was misleading. Legs are all identical. It's just table lengths that vary.
wrt adjustments: I reckon a piece of pipe inside the tubular legs, with appropriate drill holes to accept a pin, would work ok.
Sorry about lack of image.I'm an outside amateur in this medium.
Good luck eh.
Jeff.
