    Kitchen Island Movement

    Hello Everyone,
    We've noticed that the stand alone kitchen island in our 2015 Solitude 375RE is not very stable. When opening a drawer or door on the island the entire unit shakes. Almost seems like GD only anchored the unit with minimal size wood screws. Has anyone with a stand alone kitchen island in there unit felt the same issue and if so have you found a fix?

    Hi Marc & Joanne

    I think the island is well fastened to the floor, but the floor flexes. At least, this is what appears to be happening on our Reflection. I can't sense any looseness between the island and the floor, but the island wobbles about when someone walks around the island. I think this is just "RV Normal".

    BTW . . . love your avatar pic !

    Hey Rob,
    You could be right, this was of a fact finding post to see if it is the norm since it's our first unit with an island.

    Thanks those are our spoiled girls that love glamping.

    Our island moves some, but not enough to be concerned.

    and not to turn this into a golden retriever thread....but our look a little too much like yours not to post a pic.

    I have to agree. I had second line out of Topbrass Goldends. He was second youngest dog to qualify at AKC Master National as a Master Hunter in 1998. He was smarter than most people and I still miss him every day. We shared a bond that was unreplaceable.
