Question about the table 23ss

We just got our new trailer home on Tuesday. So far we love it. did camp driveway just to ensure everything was in proper order and I understood how to use it before i looked like "That guy" at the campgrounds lol. But my question is this. Our table seems to be really wobbly, When I say wobbly I mean like its poorly constructed or somethings just not right. I've looked at it, Studied it, adjusted the feet but it just seems to wobbly. is this pretty normal? I just dont think I should be able to wiggle it back and forth or it should be bouncing back and forth while were eating on it? Thanks Guys.

I had a 2012 and the table was very unstable. A word of caution about the table. Don't sit on it while it's in the bed position. It will break. Mine did.

what kind of table do you have? Ours in out 23IKSS seems like it's made of cement. Very heavy and sturdy.

I don't recall what it was made of. Like yours it was very heavy. When we did our PDI the tech told us that sitting on the table could cause it to break. I didn't listen. Wish I had.

Mine is so heavy, I have a hard time moving it. I hate the weird folding legs it has. Has anyone changed out the legs for a different style? Roo 231kss

Same problem in our Salem Ultra-lite. The whole dinette is cheaply made. The benches have light-weight, wooden framing that they use to attach the panels with staples, which most missed their marks.

I secured these to the wall for the table to rest on. I had to recess the wall side of the block to clear the window frame. It helped a lot. I have used it on one week end so far. It is only fasten to the thin wall, I may have to re-engineer later.

We have a new 2015 23ss. We looked at the 23ikss and almost purchased that one but I remember the tables being exactly the same table. I would count my lucky stars if you have a good one, Seems you are very lucky?

I'm not sure what I'm going to get in my Mini-lite 2503S. The first pic is a Rockwood Mini-lite 2503S at the Madison show with the heavy table legs (sorry the pic is rotated), and the second one's a Flagstaff Micro Lite 25KS (the Flagstaff twin), with the lighter "X" style legs. Dealer doesn't know which one will it will have.

On our first trip, the supports that held our old table ripped right out of the seats. I did it up with new supports and I made a short leg of wood to put in the middle when it was in the bed position.

The supports on the new trailer already look like they'll fail. I'll have to do the same again.

2015 Roo 23IKSS got it last week and we have the hard table with wobbly legs that fold in half when using to covert the dinette, I decided to travel with the table in the sleeping position just to prevent it from breaking or damaging our center island or slide wall but I used a ratchet strap to keep the legs sturdy while we sit at it, works well

We just got our new roo 23ss home 3 weeks ago, we turtle on our way home from Ohio to new jersey, the bed was comfortable and easy to set up. We did travel from our camp spot in ohio to Hersey shore with the table up and it was in place when we got home. The kids stay on it thw following weekend and see.ed ok. We a r e new to the whole game soo maybe my expectations are not the same as others on this post. To be honest I'm most disappointed in the exterior protection that I purchased from the dealer. (No black streaks) seems I have them after just a month. Looks like a call to rvwholesalers for me.

Sorry, just saw the answer to my own question. It is something extra purchased. Sounds like its not holding up to well?

Was it the x zillion fabric and paint protection. I have 3 or 4 spots I've gone out and cleaned the black stains off. 1 of the does not want to come off. Any suggestions for a cleaner? But that's unrelated I'll post a picture soon. Back to the table DW is also not happy with the stability of the table. This weekend is our 1st real camping adventure we are headed to Delaware for the weekend. Happy camping!

LA totally awesome. $1.00 at the (you guessed it) dollar store. You can get it at Wal-Mart too. Use it as directed and don't let it dry on the surface. That WILL take the black streaks off. I've been using it for years.
