No place to set a drink cup?

Have a 2011 Cougar and there is no place to set a drink cup next to sofa? Trying to find some thing nice to mount to wall and not having any luck.
Any ideas out there?

My drink moves up and down so frequently and repeatedly there is no time to set it down

I would think that there is something that can be addapted to go on the wall. I think it is a space issue in a TT. When you posted I had to think of what I do. I guess I do not sit on the couch much but when I do I either hold the drink or put it on the floor.

LOL,

I was in my camper last night and thinking the exact same thing. My camper is a Sprinter though and I have the slide wall on the left and the bench seat for the table on the right. I am going to attach cup holders on one or both sides, I will either buy them at Home Depot, the ones you get for the bathroom or I will make some out of wood.

I picked up a couple of these for my trailer. Mounted very firmly with the provided double-sided tape.

They are working great so far.

Try this.

something similar available at Target with a solid top instead of glass. we have one in our Cougar and it is very handy. the bottom slides under the couch so the top is right next to you. Can be moved anywhere you need it

Try looking at a marine supply like West Marine. When I had a sailboat I bought something like these cup holders.

I am almost embarrassed to tell you that we rescued a rattan coffee table from being tossed out, gave it coat of Krylon and use it for all kinds of stuff in or around the trailer. It fits nicely in front of the couch and two swivel rockers if we're indoors. And we can use for most anything outdoors that we might need. The grandkids think it's their own special dining room table. It weighs almost nothing and is easy to store when we pack up.

Looks very much like this only a bit longer:

My jackknife sofa has a big gap between the backrest and the wall. I'd see if there was some way to mount a small shelf back there. Otherwise, I'd ask my wife to sit next to me and hold my beverage. That comment alone would chill her enough to keep my drink frosty.

Put this cup holder beside my wife's spot in bed, she likes hot tea at night and needed a safe place to put it. Used nuts and bolts to mount rather than screws through the thin veneer board so has a little more strength

I made this sofa server and we use it in both the house and the camper and it works great for us.

Phil, that is one beautiful piece of woodworking. That looks better than the one you can buy. You did a beautiful job on that.

Nice job! Just read an article in my issue of Wood magazine that features a similar table. Time to go lumber shopping! Also like the grain selection - looks really nice.

This works for me quite nicely. Reloading is simple and well within reach. Never forget where I placed my nectar.
Seriously tho.. The fold/ collapsible kind that others mention work very well. Have them on my tuna fishing boat and hold drinks even in heavy seas.
