Dining Table wobble solution

The 2 pedestal dining table in my new Keystone 340fbh wobbles to the point that eating a meal on it is a disaster waiting to happen. I have thought about fabricating dimensional lumber 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. There is about a 5" drop between the inside bottom edge of the table and the wall (bottom of Window frame). In one of my previous rigs, the bottom edge of the Window was above the table so I was able to secure the table to the wall with common Window locks.
I am wondering what others have done to stabilize the table.
Thanks, Steve
  • Mine rocks also.. I have a u-shaped dinett, so I cant mount it to the wall. I'm thinking of drilling/tapping two holes in each flange for set screws..
  • Mine wobbles if I don't seat it hard enough in the floor. Usually, this means setting it, pushing it down with my hands, and then sitting on each end to "seal the deal".
  • Our TT table was wiggly, I milled a piece of redwood, rounded all edges, fastend it to the wall about a 1/16 below the table bottom with screws and strong adhesive (sika flex) then stapled adhesive backed velcro to the redwood and table bottom, the table was rock solid after that and it was a cheap fix
  • We put in a "Dream Dinette" system under our table and now the table is rock solid all the time. It changed from table up into bed with the push of one hand. It cannot be removed, it's either bed or table.

    Check out "Dream Dinette" and look at the many images, then call the company from your RV and have a tape measure with you.

    I am totally impressed with ours, an excellent product.
  • They make a table-to-wall latching system. It is really a simple deal, tabs A & B into slots A & B. In fact, if you wish, I'll see if the hardware from my old wall hung table is still available. It can be yours, easily.

    Id take it back and ask for a replacement since the unit is a 2013..


    I hear you but it is just the way these tables are designed. I have had 3 of these and they all wobbled. I'm just looking to modify it to my liking. Thanks
  • Try this:

    Take the support tubes out to the picnic table and give the side of each end a good whack with a 2X4.

    This will knock them slightly out of round, giving a tighter fit onto the sockets.
