    Bench Under Bed - How to Secure

    Was wondering what others have done to secure the sliding bench under the bed on the 310GK?

    We have taken a couple trips in our new 310 and the bench under the bed moves in and out while traveling. It looks like it either opened/closed with enough force that it stripped a couple of the small screws holding the rails to the side of the bench. I have reattached, but now trying to look at how to secure the bench while traveling. I can put a pillow or something like that between the bench and dresser but want something a little more secure.

    Thoughts/Help?

    Folks have rigged all kinds of latches for the ottoman, but we just put a throw pillow between the ottoman and the dresser when we pull the slide in. Works well, didn't cost anything, and I don't have any extra holes or hardware on the ottoman or bed foundation.

    I installed a latch. The link is here..

    Someone in that thread just used a door wedge (the kind that holds doors open). That is an easier thing to do along with Rob's pillow method.
