I suppose the proper way to do it would have been to remove the existing wood and replace the entire strip that was there, but I decided to do it this way. I stained them to match, counter sunk the screw holes slightly and ran wood screws through them and the existing pieces every couple of inches. It has worked fine since.

I have however seen a much better way (I think) since this time. Assuming yours is like mine with the large metal supports in the middle that can be removed, take one of them to the hardware store and buy some PVC the same size as the ends. measure from inside the "hole" on top to the inside of the one on the bottom and cut the PVC to fit.

This way, when your table is in its "down" position, it will also be supported by those legs, and not just the strips of wood around the dinette. You can store either legs under one of the dinette seats.

That's a great idea! Have this problem on our 2670BH GT. The one weekend we had to use the dinette as a bed when we were at my cousin's wedding in cottage country in NB, my sister had this happen to her. It was like the weight forces the two benches apart, and down you go.


Will give the PVC trick a try!
