We always leave our table up during travel.

to answer TCJ-we have a 179 model RPod. the dinette couch area slides in and out. We can't leave the columns in place when the slide comes in. the original table from FR was also made to travel upside down and strapped to the couch for travel. We do the same with our replacement table. The table/columns/base are certainly stable enough to travel in place, but we have to retract the slide which necessitates removing the columns. Hope this answers the questions Vann

We have a 179. So I mounted the pedestal base on a piece of 3/4 ply about 18" square.the table top , base and pole ride on the bed. Because it slides on the floor, one can scoot it around, or even take it outside. Pedestal bases and pole came from a boat store.

I finally got around to converting our Rpod 180 table to a pedestal mount. I used the original table top. I used 12 #8 X 5/8ths pan head sheet metal screws to attach the pedestal flange to the under side of the table top. I drilled 12 new holes in the flange to accept the #8 pan head screws I had to drill pilot holes in the table top using a 9/64ths bit. Used 6 #10 X 1" flat head screws to attach the pedestal flange base to the floor. Used two angel brackets to attach the table top to the wall. #10 X 1 inch flat head screws into the wall and #10 X 1/2 inch flat head sheet metal screws into the underside of the table top. I drilled pilot holes in the floor and wall and table top with the same 9/64ths inch drill bit. Photos attached.     Used a piece of 3/16th inside diameter snowmobile fuel line on the drill bit when drilling pilot holes in the underside of the table top to make holes 1/2 inch deep and avoid accidentally drilling through the top.  |

Cool! And using fuel tubing as a drill depth guide is a great idea, why I never thought of that before, I have no idea.

We have a 190 and that table mess has to go! Thinking of the pedastal mount also. Possibly building my own table with folding legs for travel.

I used two pedestals for our 179's table since it believe it is too large for 1 pedestal. I mounted directly to the RPod floor. I remove it and stow it on two cleats I made so it sits under the slide-out when it is retracted. That way, I also get the full length of the dinette seat for use when the slide is retracted. See my mods (link in signature) for details.
