Tip on keeping Cushions in place while driving

Need some tips on keeping the cushions in place on 3010ds dinette. The cushion backs keep sliding out on to the floor of the coach. We have the curved dinette. Tried small strips of Velcro but it would not stick to the cloth on the cushions.

My Sunseeker has the "loop " side of the velcro strips sewed in the fabric on the back/bottom of the cushions. The "hook" side of the velcro is stuck to the wood. Must have forgotten that step on yours.

Looks like I need to sew them on or glue the strips on cause the self stick will not hold. Thanks for the tips

Did you glue or sew to the backs of the cushions?

We used the sticky heavy duty velcro strips, They are about 2 inches wide. They stuck to the back of the cushions just fine.

Looks like FR omitted installing velcro on the newer models. Wonder why as it can't be more than a couple dollars extra cost per unit.

We have a 3010 and we wrap the seat belts around the end cushions and it holds them in place.

I haven't had a problem with the cushions sliding but we also only have the one side with Velcro. I too wonder why this has been left off in newer models.

I use no slip shelf paper. Sold under many names. Simply put a sheet under the cushion, replace the cushion and you are done. You do not have to use as much as I did. See photo.
