2018 3791RD leaning dining table
When we bought our 2018 Montana 3791RD in May of 2018 we did notice that the dining room table leaned down slightly at the non-supported end even when the table is in all the way. It was workable so we didn’t worry about it. However, no matter how many times we tell company not to put your weight on the table when getting out of the chair it never fails, they do it anyway and the table gets pressed down a couple inches or more and worse when fully extended, especially with the grandkids, nieces and nephews. Has anyone experienced this and any suggestions for a fix?

A couple of thumbtacks at the end of the table should keep them off of it.

Ours did the same, we didn't find a fix for it. It looked like the actual metal bracket that the table is mounted on was at a slight angle. Hopefully someone does have a way to correct this and will chime in.

We have a 2019 3791RD and I haven't noticed any lean yet. Following your thread though....

Ours did the same - dealer put in new bracket and was still as unlevel as the 1st one. So I loosened the brackets from the side wall - put a ~1" wooden spacer on the floor behind the bracket and screwed the bracket back to the side walls and to the floor. It's level now.

This is how I leveled ours also. I painted the spacer black and it's hardly noticeable.

Good to know, and thank you both! If we decide to put ours back, we'll do that.

My 2019 3731 has similar issues (dont know if same table); if extended for more room, its slopes so much its obvious. I have an appt next week with a local RV customizer to have it ripped out, thrown in the trash and have something more useful put in its place, such as a better table arrangement, desk or bar.

Had same problem with our 2018 3701 LK. Went to hardware and bought some shims and put them in the end. loosen the bolts that hold the table to it's top and put the shims in then re tighten. leveled mine out.

We had the same thing. I made a tapered full length shim, painted it black. Can’t even tell it wasn't made that way.

If the wife doesn't like the thumbtacks idea, try the extra cost of furniture oil.
Make sure they don't have any drinks that could stain the carpet.
Good luck.
