Hello,
I currently own a 2019 Heartland Prowler Lynx 25LX travel trailer. Before our first camping trip I noticed that the backing, cardboard like material that covers the frame of the bench came loose. It looks like it was somehow jostled and "ripped" out of several of the staples. This is on the outside of the bench (when you first walk into the camper and look right, that is the bench I am referring to) as well as on the inside. The top portion was also off as the nail had come out. I had repaired the top part and superglued as much of the panel to the wood on both sides as I could, but it is still wobbly.
The staples that were holding this into place are currently still in the wood, but ripped through the panel. I am looking to buy these staples and the appropriate staple gun so that I can re-attach them. I have been heavily searching Home Depot, Lowes, my local hardware store and the internet for the "staples" that are used on these and cannot seem to find them.
I recently joined this forum and figured I would start here before reaching out to Heartland directly. Does anything know the name or term for these staples that hold this backing in? Where would I be able to obtain them? Are they not staples, but fasteners?
If anyone has any insight and could point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you,
Greg
