Newshoes Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Legacy Elite New guy here. Still in Ollie boot camp. Today I set up the bed for the first time. Good thing I did this before my first adventure as It collapsed. I retrieved myself from a stern down position and then examined what I may have done wrong. I measured the distance between the back of the space for the table to sit in (30") and the width of the table 29 1/4". I appears that unless the table sits exactly in the middle any movement left or right can cause one edge to slip off the ledge! My concern is the if the family pets are using this area as a safe refuge/ cage/ den..etc they would be critically injured when 300lbs of adult suddenly drop into that space! I have solved the problem in the interim by using composite (plastic) wedges to keep the table top centered. So far that seems to have solved the problem in the interim but this is not a long term solution.I did a 170 lb "jump test" to check... and no collapse of the table! 2019 Legacy Elite #431; 2019.

roguebooks Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The table sits in front with the window ledge in back of it. roguebooks 2020 Ram Classic 1500 Warlock 4x4 Hemi V-8 2018 Legacy Elite, Hull #309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePhelps Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Newshoes, Sorry to hear about your table. On my Elite 1, the table is 29-1/4" wide as is yours, but the space between the two molded ledges that it sits in to is 29-5/8". There is no way that my table can fall off the ledges whether slid to one side or not. If your space is indeed 30", that is too much and a call to Oliver is recommended. As you mentioned, it is a dangerous situation, especially if your pets are camping underneath. The cleanest solution would be for Oliver to build you a new table to fit the space. If the space is 30" then a 29-5/8" wide table would be the same fit as mine. Dave 2015 Oliver Elite, Hull 107 1998 Ford E-250, 5.4 liter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted June 16, 2019 Moderator+ Share Posted June 16, 2019 Something doesn’t add up here. Every part is made from the same mold and should all be the same. The table recess molded into the inner bottom hull would need to have spread over 3/8” for this to have happened.

DavePhelps Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 [postquote quote=175210][/postquote] Agreed, I'm having a hard time figuring how this could happen myself. Newshoes, are the recesses for the table parallel to each other front to back? Dave 2015 Oliver Elite, Hull 107 1998 Ford E-250, 5.4 liter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newshoes Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 table width is 29-1/4" constant. recess is 29-1/2" aft and 29-3/4"+ forward. just enough if there is a minor shift the table drops in to the abyss!, The composite wedges are doing the job for now. Thanks for the response. 2019 Legacy Elite #431; 2019. TV 2019 GMC Canyon Denali, crew cab, 4X4, Long bed, Duramax Diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overland Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 On my Elite 1, the table is 29-1/4″ wide as is yours, but the space between the two molded ledges that it sits in to is 29-5/8″. There is no way that my table can fall off the ledges whether slid to one side or not. Math says it can, unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.

Newshoes Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Looks like the key here is what is the actual width the ledge. There is a pliable trim applied to the top go the ledge that the table sits on. On one side of trim is a slight lip. To me the lip should be on the outside of the trim so that it provides some resistance to lateral movement of the table. The trim on mine is on the inside. not sure how the restricts any lateral movement of the table. I will call Oliver and see what they say. In the interim I have a supply of composite wedges. Thanks for the responses! 2019 Legacy Elite #431; 2019. TV 2019 GMC Canyon Denali, crew cab, 4X4, Long bed, Duramax Diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePhelps Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Overland, It depends on the width of the ledge, as noted by Newshoes. In any case, mine has no applied trim to the ledge, and the ledge is wide enough not to let the table drop. I'd put the table to the rear of the trailer with the fiberglass insert piece towards the front, and make adjustments to those trim pieces if possible.

Newshoes Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Exactly!.. That is what I have done. With the wedges, absolutely no lateral movement of the table! I will let you know what Oliver says about it. thanks to all! 2019 Legacy Elite #431; 2019. TV 2019 GMC Canyon Denali, crew cab, 4X4, Long bed, Duramax Diesel.

HMD1056 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Perhaps if the pole were cut to the height of the ledges it would add support and hold the table in place. Of course, then it is no longer an additional table, just a bed support. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newshoes Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 UPDATE: Called Oliver on Monday morning, they called me back in about and hour and asked me to send pictures and measurements. I did that this AM and by 10 am had a call from Matt in the service department. They said they were sending me a new table this week. Not sure how much better service one could expect from a manufacturer. 2 2019 Legacy Elite #431; 2019. TV 2019 GMC Canyon Denali, crew cab, 4X4, Long bed, Duramax Diesel.

DavePhelps Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 That's sweet. Oliver really does go the extra mile to make things right and help us out if there is an issue. Now you and your pets can rest peacefully! Dave 2015 Oliver Elite, Hull 107 1998 Ford E-250, 5.4 liter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overland Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 So are they making a custom sized table for you, or is it that the tables aren't all uniform and they're picking a larger one from inventory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newshoes Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Jason explained that once they come out of the mold they are trimmed to final size. 2019 Legacy Elite #431; 2019.
