Rolling with Benches down?

I was wondering if it's okay to tow w/ the benches in my toy hauler in the down position? I frequently take trips with no motos in the back and always roll w/ the benches up. I was thinking it would be nice to roll w/ the benches down so when we take breaks, or stop for lunch, etc., I don't have to mess w/ the latches and whatnot. I know it's not that much time to put them down, but I'm curious if anyone does this! Thanks!

Same here. Those things bounce a lot. I think it's bad for the beds and bad for the floor.

But remove the table if its the one that mounts into the floor with posts. Over time the table rocks and the post bases crack, replaced both of mine once, now we pull up the table and put it on the bed.


2nd that on not having the table set up. I've replaced my sub mounts for the table once already.

Yes, the ones that usually latch up against the wall. They have legs that fold out when they are down.

Are you talking about the ones on the side? I think it would be better down, don't they have supports that contact the floor when down? Mine does and I leave them down all the time.
