Does anyone know how to keep dinette chairs from sliding around on the tile floor when you're driving? My chairs keep sliding off the slide room floor and falling over. It's even done some damage to my kitchen cabinets!

We use a bungee cord. Judy D
 
We have a Ventana and do not have the issue. Probably because it does not slide off the rug (we do not have tile slides).
 
We use a bungee cord also
 
Ours When new was delivered to us with them on the bed, strapped together. That is how we have used it since new. Do not leave them under table, if I had to stop fast, one might hit me and cause accident. Put them together on bed with strap holding them tight, no problems, ours have never moved.
 
You should check out the "Chair Buddy" by Mor Ryde. It shows in the video on their website an emergency stop and the dinette chairs don't move. Looks simple to install and much easier to use!
 
Has anyone used the Chair Buddy on a table without a center leg to attach the Chair Buddy to? Could it be attached to the bottom of the table?
 
any one with a freestanding table and chairs have a solution? on our short test drive all 3 went sliding off. Those who use a bungee can you share a pic?
 
I also just put the chairs on the bed while traveling. They don’t move and it makes moving around in the coach while underway easier. Lately I’ve been leaving the primary chairs at home and just using the folding chairs on arrival which makes the process even easier.

I take it your table is fixed then?

A couple of options:

Place a strip of nonskid shelf liner underneath the table pedestal closest to the aisle. This works most of the time for us, but I do double check the table’s position at each rest stop.

I don’t have a link to it handy, but I have seen a gizmo consisting of two suction cups with an adjustable strap between them. One suction cup on the table, the other on the buffet top.
