So the post that holds up the dinette table in my 2008 Lance 1055 ripped out. The table top is junk. Essentially it is resin impregnated cardboard with a styrofoam core. I will build a new solid table top but I needed a quick fix in the interim. I cut some 3/4 plywood to fit between the slider rails and cut a notch to allow the support leg to fold flat so we could still use the table top to make the dinette into a bed. The support leg is screwed into the plywood which is screwed into the side slider rails. It should be more stable than the original. Took me 30 minutes. and yes it had come loose on the road so I did a dirty fix with polystyrene foam.
Yep, did a similar fix a number of years ago. I didn't wait until it looked as bad as yours. As I had experienced this in many other fixes. So attacked it early on. While I was doing this, I installed a power strip on the other end of the underside of my table top so as to have power there. Drilled a hole into the table top and install a hole grommet for cables, to help keep in clean. Seemed a good time when the table top was out being fixed.
