Travelling with the U dinnette 'down'

hmm, we don't have that on ours. Should be easy to add with the adhesive stuff..

there should be velcro under the sides of the table top and along the supports around the dinette that the table top rests on in bed mode.
this keeps it from moving in transit.

Thanks, that's what I always thought but hubby was worried about it moving during transit, so we store it on a bed. Sometimes we would use the open part of the U for kids bikes, so had to have the table elsewhere, but we're not taking them on our big trip.

Ours is also the free standing variety, the legs fold under and are held together with a velcro strap.

In looking at photos of your trailer its a similar setup to both Jayco's we've had. Because we don't have any place to store the table, we always travel with the table in "bed mode". We were also told by the dealer to travel this way. We lay our out door chairs and a few other things on top of it. First thing when pulling is to take that stuff outside including the table.

i'm not sure why you don't travel with the dinette in bed mode.
that's what all manufacturers recommend. table down in bed mode.
even with a free-standing table like our Roo has, it's recommended to drop it down and set it up in bed mode for traveling.

doesn't make any sense to me why you're doing it the way you are.
takes up storage space and there's the chance it could move.
we have way more room for stuff with the table down.

They are not attached to the table permanently. I stow them by my water heater when not in use. When converting the table to a bed, remove the two metal posts and drop the PVC legs into the openings in ring on the floor first, then set the table in place.

Good idea. Are those pieces attached to the table in any way? I suspect it has the same design. We have a few friends who have the exact same trailer but without the flip out.

I am not sure if this is any different in a HTT versus a TT. I leave my table in for traveling and have also put it down in the "bed" position for traveling. I have found the need to store items on the table when traveling, so that was the reasoning behind it.

I did one other thing I did not long after purchasing the TT and realizing we would use this as a bed from time to time. I measured the distance from the table to the floor when the bed was made, I then cut a piece of PVC pipe for each of the table leg mounts. I wanted something more support with no damage to the table or dinette benches. These pieces keep the table from sliding out either from vibration or turning.
