Spirit 22R: Dinette rattling noise

Hi, newbie owner here - just bought our first RV 24 hours ago: It's a 2016 Winnebago Spirit 22R and we love it. One thing to note though - the dinette table (which not connected to the wall) makes really loud and noticeable squeaks/rattling noises while the RV is on the move. The noise stems from the part where the table hooks up to the round vertical pole/post that is attached to the RV floor. I attached pictures to show where the noise is coming from and what kind of dinette that is. Please let me know if there's a way to mitigate/eliminate the noise somehow (while still keeping the table connected of course!).

Thanks!

We just bought a 2016 Spirit 22R last week.
On my home, by myself, I kept yelling what is that noise. Sounded like two pots banging against each other. Figured it out an hour into the drive that it was the table. I haven’t had time to find a solution yet.
Maybe tape around the post?

Never had an RV that didn't rattle somewhere or other. Get used to it.

A couple of ideas:
1. First, make sure that the table is inserted fully and tightly into the post.
2. Try flipping the table and post upside down and spraying a bit of silicone spray into the joint. Work the post around a bit, then reinstall.
3. Remove the post from the tabletop, and wrap a layer of clear packing tape around the top of the post, then reinstall. Similarly, put some tape on the inside of the "socket" that the post fits into.
4. Longshot, but can you flip the post upside down? Maybe it will fit tighter?
