Title: Barrel Chairs
Post by: HiLola on September 02, 2020, 11:37:43 pm
A question for those that have a model with barrel chairs; how do you secure them while traveling?

I've never had a problem with them moving.

To secure the barrel chairs, fasten each chair's seatbelt and pull the adjustment strap tight. Done.

Have traveled many 1000's of miles with barrel chairs and have never fastened them.  They move a little but no real problem.
With our last 31' IB I replaced the barrel chair next to the counter with a high backed office chair so it had a head rest for watching TV.  It also was on wheels but did not move much.  Movement was not really a problem.  Good luck.   Gale

I am surprised they don’t require securing. They must be heavy then.

"...fasten each chair's seatbelt and pull the adjustment strap tight."

If they are anchored to the floor using their own seat belts they ain't going far!

In a rollover accident, if the seatbelts are not clicked and tightened, the chairs would fly around the interior.
We store a catalytic heater, in the winter, or a small HEPA filter, in the summer, behind one of the chairs. Securing the chairs holds them in place.
It's on my mental checklist to take the few seconds needed to secure both chairs before driving away..
