I have a 2011 RW305 toy hauler. I recently purchased used, so no warranty. I have found the outside wall L molding was loose under the front bedroom outside wall bottom toward the front of the trailer. The caulk bead was broken and when i push it will move up about 1/8'', so i pulled the plastic out of the center and tried to tighten the screws but they were broken. So I am assuming that I should drill and add extra longer screws, then reseal with another bead of caulk. I do not see any stress on the outside skin side or underneath. This unit though was pulled from CA to MI so it has had some miles put on it.
I am thinking for a trailer only two years old this should not be happening, or is this a signal of some other problem? I don't see any water damage but did not want to pull the molding off either. I pulled my older 5th wheel molding off, it was a 2000 Cherokee LT and had to rebuild the corner as the wood frame had rotted but wanted to find out if anyone has seen the molding loose and screws broken on their Heartland units this new and if there is anything I should be watching for as I drill and re-attach the molding.
Thanks,
Leigh
