Dinette removal

2025 30BH 5th wheel.

Ever since we got this rig home back in June, the dinette wobbled real bad. After our first trip/use, we discovered 3 of the screws popped out of the leg on the floor.
After our 2nd use, we tried pulling the table off, and the entire bracket on the inside leg ripped out of the floor, even after I re-tightened the screws.

So, we've decided to just replace the entire system with something different. I was able to remove the screws that were visible on the benches but it still seems attached to the slide out WALLS. There are no screws visible from under the slide out and no way to even access anything under it. We've had motor homes, a travel trailer, all with slides and dinettes on the slide out and never had this issue. Every video we've looked up shows 2x2's all around the base of the dinette bench. This one only has them on 3 sides, and not at the wall location. I'm talking about the front of back of the slide, not the road/camp side of the slide, just to be clear.

So, has anyone taken these things out of an Alliance ??

Maybe they glued it too? Maybe check for pocket hole screws from underneath?

Should you need to get medieval on it, you can put it all back together with seam tape, if all else fails. I just used it in my shower rebuild. Super easy to use. Alliance sells it by the foot.

Item #15525 Description Tape - Seam - 1" - Verso Fog $0.18 per foot

Item #16435 Description Tape - Seam - 12" - Verso Fog $2.28 per foot

Item #16436 Description Tape - Seam - 24" - Verso Fog $4.36 per foot

Well from the experience we've had with one, it wouldn't be surprising if they used "glue" as stupid as that is. I sent a "general" contact to them, and they right away said it'll be a "warranty" issue even after I explained I was removing the dinette for something else instead. God just send me the info so I can remove it! It's not like THEY own it or even the bank anymore, we paid for it via a trade in. I did see they replaced that dinette style with a legless setup. Bout the only thing they changed on it besides adding a Gen 3 Star Link plug.

Hopefully they get back to me before Thanks Giving as we're headed out shortly after.
