Ideas for stabilizing dining table
The dining table in my new 340fbh wobbles to the point that eating a meal on it is a disaster waiting to happen. I have thought about using wood and some sort of latching devices to secure the table to the wall below the picture Window. Whatever I do, I want to design something that secures the table to the wall with something I can unlatch versus removing screws.
I am wondering what others have done to stabilize the table.
Thanks, Steve

Steve, is that a free standing table or one that is fastened to a wall? Our free standing table wobbles because the track that allows it to slide back and forth has a large gap. I've thought about putting a couple of screws in it, but then I'd lose the ability to slide it back and forth which makes it much easier to get into and out of the chairs at the table.

Neither, it has two removable fluted aluminium poles/pedestals. Not secured to wall. I want to secure it to the wall.

This is what I'm thinking about using when I build a new table top that attaches to the wall:

Be sure to watch their video to get the full effect.

We were so frustrated with the same problem.
We use an adjustable shower curtain bar under one side of the table (was wobbly and lop-sided). Keystone claimed there was no way to repair it.
Hope that helps!

Does a window extend below the table? If so, I have no suggestions. Otherwise you can buy special brackets that attach to the table and the wall. The table then slides into the brackets and secures it rock solid. Any RV dealer should have them.
