Second and Third Questions

I searched the forum but couldn't find the answer to these two questions.

My second and third questions deal with the tables. On the camper that sits at the dealer near me, the table that has the center post was awfully wobbly...is this normal? Can it be adjusted where there is no wobble?

Next question...when traveling how do you keep the table with the foldable legs from moving all over the camper while moving? Do you store it until you set the camper up or perhaps bungee the table so that it doesn't move?

I know you ladies and gentlemen have all the answers.

Tons on this topic, depends on what you want to do.

As for the folding table I would just fold it up and find a spot on the floor.

I dont have a single post table but I do have the folding leg table. When in transit, I fold the table down, into bed position. Mine has industrial strength velcro on the underside edges of the sides and back end of the table and velcro on the supporting ledges. That table aint goin' nowhere!

My folding leg table rides in the bed position. The cushions hold it in place nicely and it has never moved around.

Second and Third Questions

The center post table is a friction fit, so no adjustment to make it less wobbly... This design is inherently wobbly, but it's less of an issue when using it.... Options to make it less wobbly would be to add a second floor cleat and a second pole... One of the A-frame owners here also added a hinged stabilizing plate to the camper wall, that connects the end of the table to the wall and does a good job of stabilizing.

I took out my heavy folding leg dinette table and replaced with a single pole assembly and then made a new tabletop that is more square than rectangle, wobbling is not an issue. The table bridges between the two dinette seats when traveling so storing it is not an issue and it doesn't move around.
