I agree. We "unscrewed" our sofa in the Springdale because we were always losing a pillow or something else behind it. It was much easier to just unfasten it from the wall and let it sit there. It never moved and we never worried about someone sitting "hard" on it and pulling it out of the wall.
But, if you really think you need it secured, who not get under the slide, use 2"fender washers" and countersunk bolts up through the floor, sit the "L" brackets on the bolt and use a lock washer and nut to secure it to the slide floor. That way, it won't move unless it pulls out a chunk of flooring, and that's not likely to happen.
