Topic: Dinette screws in 180 Posted: 30 Oct 2022 at 12:58pm |
The sides of the dinette in our 180 don't feel too secure, I noticed they added three screws on each side on the new 180. Very carefully I drilled pilot holes in my dinette seat sides and put #8-1" lath screws
into support frame and it seemed to make the sides more secure, without reducing integrity. My interior is white, the new 180 was dark brown it is a little hard to see three screws in picture.

Nice colour match, the screws look like they belong.
I had to do similar work on the door side dinette seat as well. I needed to redo the floor screws, as the ones they put in were screwed into holes in the floor that were too large. As well I needed to add L shaped brackets to reinforce the horizontal wood structure inside the seat at all the accessible corners, top and bottom. Now we can use the seat without it wobbling. I still need to replace the plastic mounts for the steel tubes that the table sits on. Junk light weight plastic. Have a good one, Andy |

Thanks the L brackets may be the next addition. I will check out the table legs too.

If screwing into the light wood pieces, I would recommend marking and pre-drilling the holes to prevent them from splitting when the wood screws are installed.
There are a lot of Red Green fans out there, which is great! I think we can all use a bit more humour in our day. Andy |

If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy.
