Hang Baby Bouncing Chair - 03 Winnebago Brave

Is there a secure way to hang a kids bouncy chair from somewhere in our 03 Winnebago Brave. Might need a creative solution since the celling is foam core and can't support weight.

Kiddo is about 15 lbs and chair is another pound, so ideally would hold up to 20-25 lbs of bouncing weight for some room to grow.

The style of chair we have clamps to the top of a door frame, or I can remove the clamp and just use a the strap somehow.

This is the style of chair we have, but are open to purchasing something new to make it work: https://www.amazon.com/Evenflo-Exers...dp/B00O8RQYGU/

Trying to avoid A frame style chairs that take up space and have to collapse.

About the only thing I can think of is to build a lightweight frame like on a swing set that you can collapse or disassemble. Use PVC pipe that you can slip together.

So if that kid weighs 30 #s that's how much torque is present on the object he/she is attached to, directly over his/her head. Wow!

A 30# kid will exert a 30# downward load. Torque is applied by a force and a lever arm.

A lever can be used to multiply torque.
Now then. Have you never stretched a rubber band and have it snap back to sting you. That poor kid is being set up for a nasty goose-egg if daddy's attachment fails.

Yes but it's a bouncy chair so a live load instead of static? The only way to do it in the RV is to add a structural beam across the roof from sidewall to side wall the fasten the hook thru the roof into the beam and seal the roof. Even that would be a challenge to keep the roof radius and prevent leaks.

That would be my choice. PVC or ABS, just use set screws in the fitting so it doesn't unexpectedly come apart, but can still break down for storage.
Another alternative, if you have a ceiling vent, No fan or light in the area, would be cut a piece of wood or pipe to fit across the opening, notched so it can't slide out.
With recent experience with a just turned one year old, DON'T do any permanent mods to the RV. They out grow these items quickly. I've got a jolly jumper here that was only used for 2 months.

Like I said, secure. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, they sell A frames on Amazon so probably go that route.
