I did this to reduce the movement, sleeved the table leg using PVC with a thin cutting board liner.� Damps the movement nicely while still letting you move it when you want.� We also moved the front table to the rear position and parked the rear table in our garage.� Front table leg now replaced by galvanized pipe-with-flange step for upper bunk access.

I no longer use the tables (they were always in the way, especially with my early vans where the closet door is blocked), but when I did, I tightened the knob with the table swung out a few inches and moved it back and forth tightening as much as I could and then pushing it back against the wall.� Worked pretty well.

A more sophisticated fix is to glue a piece of rubber on the flange that is pushed against the pole by the screw.�
