Re: Barrel Chairs Reply #3 – September 04, 2020, 05:39:30 pm 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

They must be heavy then.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..Larry 1 Likes
