    The counter top? Or the entire island where it meets the floor?

    If it is the latter the island in my 323BHS doesn't budge (not even a little movement) I would have it looked at though. I can see that causing some problems as you encounter a large pothole or the like. That being said I'm not sure how it is secured I'm assuming it is screwed to the sub, so you may be able to remove some trim and add a few screws but I haven't the faintest there.

    Hi HDSmurph,

    Everything wobbles about in a 5th wheel when people move about.
    We don't (yet) have JT Strong Arm (or equivalent) wobble stoppers which might help.
    When the two 40 lb dogs in our avatar pic get to chasing about, the island, the table, the couches, the bed . . . and everything else in the RV, wobbles about . . . significantly 😀.

    I guess their should be some movement while traveling down the road our stuff would shear off. Today is the first shake down trip 2 days at a local park. Hope everything goes well!! Rob I know about animals playing, we go three dogs they can create quit the commotion.

    Now that I read Rob's post I think I misunderstood. The wobble is not from the actual island being loose it is from movement in the unit.

    That being said we went from regular chocks to X-chocks and man did that help. The regular chocks made me seasick, with x-chocks I hardly notice the movement.

    Our's is not moving, but the inside trim panel is coming off. Looks like the little nails just popped out or the trim panel just came off the nails/tacks! Does anyone know if we can just nail it back down????

    I am seeing the island move as the original OP described, the floor flexes with weight (walking) moving the island with it.

    I'd try gluing it with panel adhesive or PL Premium

    I have a 2017 29RS
    After 2 months on the road, the doors underneath wouldn't close. ( to close together in middle)
    I had to take doors off, move hinges 1/8 inch out to gain clearance.
    Don't know how it happened, but never had another problem with them
    Gremlins I think
