When we had the recliners in the back we used 2- six foot bungie cords to hold the chairs together back to back with a pillow or blanket between them at the top of the chairs . Never had a problem with them that way. We have done some furniture relocation and now have a dining table with only two chairs in the back window, moved the sofa down to where the dining table was and removed one of the recliners from the unit and put the other one where the sofa was with an end table between the sofa and the recliner. We've also found a cabinet the height of the table and put it in the back window also and set our ice machine on it when parked and use it for more canned and dry goods foods in the bottom part. Works for us. We tried to put the sofa in the back window area but the arms were to long(about 1 1/2" to long) and the slides would not close.

A "peek-a-boo" are the fabric- covered channels at the side of the windows that the blinds travel up and down in. I believe they are there for privacy - thus " peek-a-boo". My own term because I don't know what they are called.

We also have done the strappped back to back with a pillow in between thing for years. I put the strap around the chairs just under the top cushion and above the two lower back cushions. No problems thus far.

We replaced the two rocker/recliners with a recliner/rocker love seat. If I put the love seat in the recliner position it never moves.

We found our chairs were, several times, up hard against the rear window. I was worried about the possibilities so I cut/notched a 2 x 6 to go around the tie rings and fit against the rear wall to stop the chairs hitting the window. I covered the 2x6 with carpet approx the same colour as the trailer's carpet so unless you look it is not very visible.

We put the chairs back to back, pillow between the chairs at the top, and a strap around the backs in the split between upper and lower bolsters.

I still strap the chairs to the floor using the lifting rings. The straps don't seem to need to be tight. I put old towels between the armrests and the straps to protect the fabric.

The chairs now stay put.
