    <p>David--</p> <p>Thanks for the information and welcome. Yes the FWC site is a great resource as is this WTW site.

    It is Mule that I have spoken to and they are telling me: a major factor is whether it is a front or side dinette layout.

    Yes, this is what they are saying--bolting to the bed. So, are turnbuckles more adaptable to either layout because they are standard to either layout? I need to find what turnbuckles look like, I think.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ratchet Straps for Tie Down Safe?

    Thanks for the welcome! The Overland dealer is telling me that the Hawk layout of the dinette (whether front or side) does matter because if they put the holes in for tie down for a front dinette and I end up getting a side dinette, different holes for bolting down would be required. They said...
