Mounting pedestal chairs in slide

[Romer1]

I want to remove the sofabed in our Suncruiser 35U and replace it with 2 Flexsteel barrel chairs that are on pedestals same as drivers chair. Any ideas on how to mount them? Know I can't go thru floor with bolts like the existing recliner. Would lag bolts work?

In that case I would consider cutting an access hole in the top of the Storage Compartment and work through the hole! Put a hinge and hasp on the cutout .

Just throwing out ideas!

We have a table and four Dining chairs on Our Slde that seldom move in transit.

No, because the slide beams are between the floor and the storage compartments. There's about a six inch space . The compartments have to go under the coach floor when in, running bolts thru top of compartment would prevent slide from going in

This could be accomplished with the Slide Extended on My Rig! As long as the Plate and Bolt Heads were kept to the minimum and don't interfere with the Slide mechanism it should be a piece do Cake.

Driving Lag Bolts in from the Top would not work for Me. Just not enough solid wood to get a secure grip!

You would also need to determine if Seat Belts could be added!

Just removed sofa, held in place with 6 self tapping lag bolts. Storage compartments come out with slide giving exceedingly limited access to underside.

Google Hilti togglers. They might be a good fix for this and also come in stainless.

They would require a hollow space that I don't have
