When traveling, do you leave your table up or put down into the bed position.
I have seen some owners write of the laminate wrap coming off the table.

Wondering if in the down position resting on the stops, could this effect the laminate coming loose.
 
I suspect the storage will have little effect as I have a different view of why laminate comes loose in RV.
I suspect it is far more common in RV than stick built houses due to the temperature swings being much more frequent as well as greater swings.
When we store and depending on what part of the country, the laminate material changes temperature at a different rate and amount than the underlying wood materials. Laminate being somewhat like plastic, it tends to expand and contract differently than the wood materials. I feel this makes one material move compared to the other and eventually the adhesive bond breaks down!
I've never tried to figure which storage might make it last longer and we rarely put the table down.
