The PO of my GL did a partial, poor job of this.
  The table is mounted on a plastic panel that must be installed along
the drivers side.  If the plastic panel for the other side is also
installed you must use a bed/seat that is made for that setup ( a little
narrower than the GL bed).  Previous posts by Chris Turner cover this
matter well.
  On my van, only the drivers side panel with the table was installed
and the original bed is still used.  This means that it rubs against the
table, etc. when lowered and is hard to operate.  Therefore we tend to
just leave the bed down when on a camping trip and don't actually use
the table.
  It's nice to have the flexibility of the easily removable jump seats,
although they have no arm rests and I don't care to ride backwards.
