So many things on travel trailers are the thinnest, the lightest and the least substantial in order to reduce costs and boost the bottom line of the TT manufacturer. Dinette table legs are no exception. The same type is used on the vast majority of the TTs out there and they wobble and move a lot. Most just put up with it and accept it.
Personally, I hate the table wobble. Like they say on Shark Tank, "there's got to be a better way". There is... So this time on our latest TT, a 2014, we fixed it for good. We were going to go with the table attached to the exterior wall and use a single folding leg. We did that on our last TT but the table still moved a little because the attachment to the exterior wall had a small amount of movement plus the attachment point of the single leg allowed the table to bend a little.
This time, our dealer suggested using table legs from a Lance so that's what we did. The result is great and the table does not move at all. The Lance legs are aluminum and are really well made. The tubing part pulls out of the flanges just like the standard type.
My table is also very unstable. Could you provide more information on the legs you installed. I googled Lance, but not much comes up pertaining to table legs.
Did you purchase through dealer or website?
Thanks
