Pedestal Table

[scbillandjane]

WE have just picked up our 21RBS. The table is useless. It wobbles several inches at a time. Has anyone had any success getting it fixed under warranty?

This was addressed in a previous thread....

1) The table is a joke. It is either too high or the sofa is too low, so....

2) go to Amazon and look at the eHemco tv trays. They are $10 LESS than what I paid for them, and I like them so much I would buy them again in a NY second.
They store perfectly in the space behind the sofa. 

3) place the table outside the trailer, at the door. Use it to set things on as you enter/leave the trailer. When it falls apart, buy an aluminum table to replace it!!

Happy Trails.....

If you have the dinette table, you may want to consider this pedestal from Garelick. I installed 2 of these in my 16TBS, one in front of the sofa and one in the space between the beds. The quick release base makes it easy to remove and store, the under-base is only about 1/2 inch off the floor (and in my case level with the foam flooring I installed), and the resulting table is stable. Not being familiar with the table in the 21, I have no idea if this would work, but take a look.

Actually, it is the pedestal table with the u-shaped dinette in the 21 BHS (not RBS, as posted originally.) Thanks for the quick replies. Merlin, the pedestal shown on your link looks very interesting.

[font size="3"]From the factory the Camplite table=wobbly. I tried a replacement post, but got only moderate success. Merlin's suggestion looks good. If you can find one, the post used in Lance Campers seems good from what I've seen at dealers. If you're up for some work look at my solution at

It is stable, still makes into the bed, and doesn't require removal to close the slide. The secret is to use the wall for part of the support. Good luck

[font size="3"]We bought our 21RBS used and the table was missing.  I found a small lightweight, foldable table at BiMart that works perfectly, and stows behind the sofa.  $20.[/font]

[/font][/quote]I investigated this possibility but found the pedestal itself wasn't responsible. It's actually the floor itself that's flexing since they just attached it to the planks, not the frame. I thought about putting a beefier aluminum plate beneath it to spread the load a bit and potentially reach the "joists".

I just used self-tapping screws in the floor (making sure I didn't hit water or electric below). i'm using a relatively small table in my 16TBS and tipping is not a problem. I like the large plate to spread the load idea.
