How to Stow Recliners During Towing

[CameoCruzers]

We have had our 5th wheel for a couple months and have taken it on several short trips. We are having an issue with the recliners opening up during towing. We tried facing them at the wall. They opened up and jammed into the closed slide. What a tangled mess that was. Next time we turned them toward the outside walls. Again they opened up and pushed into the little side table between them and broke the leg off the table. Does anyone else have this problem and more important does anyone have a solution. Or is this a warranty issue with the chairs. Maybe they shouldn't open up so easily. Any suggestions, this is very frustrating. :(

Why not just put a strap around the foot piece to the back of the recliner. That will keep them from opening while in transit. Just a thought.

Just open them up before you travel, you can pack around them to ensure they don't shift. Or better yet, sell your 5th wheel and by a tent! HaHa! That's the way I'd go!

On our fifth wheel, there are floor brackets beside each recliner. We stow them back to back, install an adjustable strap and pull tight, keeping the chairs closed.
