Problem My Dinette Chairs slide on the tile floor while driving

[poleczech]

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.

I specifically ordered the "Euro Dinette", to avoid the problem. Had the "chairs" in my Mountain Aire, & they would move, unless bungeed! The table expands & 4 adults can easily eat at the table! And, if more than 4, it's a cookout, outside! And under the dinette is a perfect place for the crate for our lovable "foxhound"!

The table & chairs are quite attractive, but I wanted the function!

Look inside the seat cushion. Our chairs have a hinge and the seat cushion raises. There were straps inside the seats for strapping them down.

On a side note; the small space order the chair cushion is perfect for stashing a small personal protection. If you are so inclined.

We use a bungee cord. Judy D

Since writing this, we have discovered that when we roll up our two 3 by 5 foot wool rugs and place them under the chairs, it solves the problem, no bungee cord needed. Judy D

I just put in an antique 4x6 oriental rug last weekend. I‘ll try that.

I have doubts that one will work, as the two between chairs cannot roll. Judy
