I have a nice 270 side awning. I like to sit in my camp chair in the evening sipping on a libation of my choice.

I would love a little side table that is easily removable (or foldable) that holds 2 - 3 glasses and 2-3 bottles.
Ideally with a lip so things don't slide off the edge.

I would hang this on the rear passenger door. Not much weight needed, let's say 15-20lbs at most.

Bonus points of the table can be adjusted down and up so it's either suitable for standing as a bar table or sitting as a coffee table.

Any ideas?
 
I've looked at the black sheep table but I'm not in love with it.

I think I would like a lip around the edge of the table to prevent cups from falling off if accidentally hitting them. I also really would love for the table to be adjustable in height.
 
There is a DYI one around, maybe from @Jean Mercier

EDIT: found it:

 
Euro Flo Expedition has one as well, but it is part of bigger offering with different configurations.


Some of the side pantries may also work like the XHQ one (but it is a bit of overkill, as you also need the XSPEC window utility frame)


DYI is looking even better. I use the fender plate for tea and drinks or the rear door picnic table.

What I think would look good and work well are two vertical bars going from the top of the door mounts to the bottom of the mounts. Square bars, connected to each other so they are stable..

A table with pull spring pins at the end of it that clicks in on holes in the outside bars. At the outer end of the table a leg that is extendible with a friction lock mechanism that is angled towards the bottom of the door mount and is used to level the table. At the lowest setting maybe even having that leg on the ground.

Can't be that hard to design. My inspiration came from something like this.

It's somewhat similar to what @TheDocAUS came up with. I may even borrow that, I kind of like that design.
