Wobbly Dinette Table

What have you done to stabilize a wobbly dinette table? CW used to sell some kind of clamp, but I don't see it on their web site anymore.

Thanks.

    Another thing to consider, take the table down when traveling. The rocking of the camper is causing the weight of the table to wiggle, causing the aluminum posts to bend inward. By simply taking the table down, the legs will be spared. We did this with our Springdale from delivery to the day we sold it. The legs were still solid and never wiggled. Our current camper has a stand alone table now.

  • If you table sits on 2 aluminum posts that slip into a sleeve on the floor and another sleeve under the table, you can pull the crimped ends of the aluminum posts out just a little (very little), making them fit more snug in the sleeves.

    Or, you can attach mount on the side of the wall that will enable the table to dismount. Put a folding leg on the table so you can still use the table as a bed.

    Depends. If the table is located alongside a wall then it's an easy fix, one I did myself in our previous KZ Spree, but if it's a table that's part of a U shaped dinette with no wall next to it then that would require an entirely different approach. Whatchagot? :@
    Table is located alongside a wall - not U-shaped.
