Abstract
A ranch wagon, which can easily be converted to a picnic table and opposed bench seating. The unit conversion involves removing the side walls, laying them aside, and relocating the front and rear panels from an upward stowed to a lower eating position, and moving the axles from a first inner position to a second outer position. The two side walls are then disposed across the spaced outwardly extended axles. The optional canopy which can include a flap at each end, can be left in place to protect items on the table surface from sun, or removed as is desired.
