We have a heavy rocker-recliner behind the passenger seat. It is not bolted to the floor. It has a swivel hoop base which is round 3/4 or one inch steel tubing.

I went to www.glastop.com and saw a dandy chair clamp. Alas, they are out of stock and have no hopes of finding another supplier.

Can anyone direct me to a chair clamp, hopefully, with a release, so it can be moved. I will settle for a permanent clamp.

Guess I could buy a couple of heavy duty steel U-bolts and drill down into a compartment below and use a steel plate to secure the chair with lock washers and nuts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Winny had one for our 2001 Adventurer. I never used it.
Should be something you can get from a dealer or from Winny.

We have a similar setup. Behind the passenger seat we replaced the barrel chair with a recliner. Behind that is the entry steps. I took a screw out of the metal molding, near the wall and put on an eye hook screw. We use a bungee around the legs to the eye hook.

Winnebago provides a clamp with a knob that you turn to tighten it down. On mine the knob has a long bolt that goes through the floor and into the storage compartment below with a nut and washer on it.
You can probably get the part from Winnebago through Lichtsinn Motors LICHTSINN. They are a dealer a mile or so from the factory.

If you call Lichtsinn have your VIN handy. They can cross it to your ID number so they will know which parts are on your coach.the clamp can be obtained from Lichtsinn Motors.

Go to Lowes, Home Depot, etc and check out the metal pipe section.

1" or 3/4" pipe clamps would work fine depending on the base ring size.

Use lag bolts or go through the floor if possible to anchor the chair.

You can paint the pipe clamps to match.

Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

For a modification to the pipe clamp idea. They should have a bolt stud with lag screw threads on one end and regular 1/4-20 on the other. You can anchor the lag end into the floor and place a pipe hangar on it then a large plastic handled wing nut to hold it in place.

Metal conduit clamps at HD or Lowes and lag bolts.

I'd suggest using a couple blind nuts mounted below the floor in the basement compartment. Then a couple 3/8" wing bolts long enough to go through the base ring of the chair, the floor and into the blind nuts. Simply insert the pair of bolts and tighten securely before moving down the road.
