RV Cabinets

Custom Way RV Repair Shop can build and install new furniture, cabinets, closets, tables, desks for your RV or truck.

Securing furniture in an RV is crucial for safety and to prevent damage while traveling. Here are some effective methods:

1. Furniture Straps or Brackets: Use straps or brackets to anchor furniture to the walls or floor. These are commonly used for heavier items like sofas and cabinets.
2. Bolting: For a more permanent solution, you can bolt furniture directly to the RV’s structure. Be sure to check for any wiring or plumbing beneath the floor before drilling.
3. Velcro or Adhesive Strips: These are great for securing lighter items or cushions. Velcro strips can keep seat cushions in place, while adhesive strips can secure smaller items.
4. Bungee Cords or Cargo Netting: Attach D-ring bolts to the floor or walls and use bungee cords or cargo nets to hold furniture in place. This method is flexible and allows for easy rearrangement.
5. Non-Slip Mats: Place non-slip mats under furniture to prevent sliding. This is especially useful for smaller items like tables and chairs.

By using these methods, you can ensure that your furniture stays secure during your travels, making your journey safer and more enjoyable. If you have any specific pieces of furniture you’re concerned about, call us!
