Dinette rattling loose from floor
I'm now on my third attempt to secure the dinette seat in my 2005 Rockwood 2104. This is an aluminum frame trailer, and the dinette is framed from the same material. Vibrations and rattling have cause...

I can get to the underside of the trailer. Putting some wood or metal in place to take some of the torque and pressure of the bolts sounds good. I think I'm going to poke around underneath and see if I can clear away the foam and paper to expose the subfloor from underneath. If I can do that, then I can bolt through the dinette and the subfloor without having the styrofoam as part of the equation.
I was thinking of using a hole saw to cut out a plug of styrofoam. Then I could glue it back in after the bolts are in. Have to be careful not to saw a hole in the subfloor, though...;)
Bobndot, the toothpick and glue method was my first attempt a couple of years ago, and it didn't hold up to the vibration. In this attempt, I did insert some plywood into the tubing with subfloor glue where some welds had broken, so I could put a screw through to hold the dinette together.
I will post photos if I come up with a good solution.
Thanks everybody!
