According to the RV industry, customers prefer the folding legs because then you can take the table in and out of the camper. Also, the post gets 'wobbly' over time (so I am told!), and is 'more of a hassle' to store. (They did some sort of study, and this what they said, so please don't flame ME!
)
We actuatly picked up some TV tray tables at the thrift store to use inside, which we do VERY RARELY (only when it rains so the wobbly-e- ness doesn't bother us!); we would rather be outside. We do carry the big table, just in case we want to use it outside.
