Moving Pedestal Bases Plates

Our pedestal table is to close to the seat on the backside of our u- shaped dinette in our 2016 Keystone Ultra Lite. Can we move the base plates out so that we can use the seating Behind the table? Thank you
  • Probably easier to relocate the sockets on the table top.
    I changed our table from 2 posts to 1 and put one of the table sockets on a wood base so I can place the table wherever I want. I left the sockets in the floor and the table base covers them.

    In my trailer I left the base plates where they were on the floor and just moved the table top on the upper end plates.
  • Yes, just move the sockets on the table.

    In one of my RVs, the table was crooked due to a bad install at the factory. I straightened the table alignment by moving the sockets on the table.

    Thank you, we will try this option,
  • The base is just screwed to the floor so moving either end is easy.

    Not necessarily. While some pedestal table bases are elevated cones screwed to the floor, like this, others are flush mount in a hole in the floor like this, in which case it's not such an "easy" move.
  • Have you tried turning the table top around first? maybe its put on the pedestals backwards?
