We just bought a new 2015 Crossroads Cruiser Aire 5er. Love it so far, but as with all of them the dining table is so wobbly you have to be careful to not spill anything when setting something on the opposite side! I've made sure all the screws and locks are tight on the tubes and brackets, but I think what would be the cheapest and easiest to do is just put a 2x4 or 2x2 under the window right up against the bottom of the table to keep it rocking "seat to seat". I don't want to mess something up by screwing something too long or tight into the wall. What would be good for that? Maybe some good old command strips?? What have others done for this?

Pictures would help. Several solutions come to mind.

Sometimes I will use a glue to bond large surfaces. Maybe a 1x6 if the lip is large enough. Those thin walls can't hold much. Another thought would be to support something up from the floor along the end wall.

I bought floor mounts for mine, the kind that look sort of like aluminum cones and hold a 4-inch round upright tube. I installed a pair of them and my table is pretty solidly attached to the floor.

This will make you laugh -- on our first trailer, the table wiggled badly. There was a one-inch gap between the forward edge of the table and the front wall of the trailer. I took a wad of bubble wrap and put a belt of duct tape around it and then jammed the whole wad into the gap. Problem solved! (But not very elegantly.)

I removed one of the legs and secured the table to the wall, as shown in these 2 pics ... never moved thereafter in the slightest.
