Question Wobbly floor and kitchen island

I just purchased a 2021 Sandpiper 3660MB last week and took it straight to our first camping trip. The living room floor and kitchen island is extremely bouncy and the island shanked so bad that items on the kitchen sick fall off into the floor.

Is this normal for this floor plan?

I just bought a 2022 3660mb. It has the same issue as you describe. Have you been able to do anything to yours to make it any better? I don't recall noticing it at the dealership.

Welcome to the forum to both of you its a great place to get your questions answered. Thats a long rig it may be the frame flexing or suspension when someone moves around. My little rig bounced around until I added steadyfast and X-Chocks. You might consider making a temporary stabilizer out of wood under the frame in from of the axle and if it works go with something more permanent JMHO

We bought a '21 Sandpiper 3440BH and had the floor flexing between the entrance door and the island. FR approved having the dealer reinforce the floor, under warranty.
