Slide out interior trim issue

[RonD]

This is something everyone should look at. Our Montana is 3 1/2 years old, it was a very early 2010 with Hickory interior. About a year or so back I found the trim on the bedroom slide, the top header board falling off, I applied glue, then tapped it back on, 6 months ago the same thing with the main large slide, this time the trim had almost landed on the floor after we arrived at the campsite, well yesterday on I-40 westbound, the road is a little rough, we pull into a rest stop, I go to use the one in the Montana, when I opened the door, all 3 sections of the kitchen slide Hickory were on the floor, the brad nails that attach one of them put a nice scratch in one of the lower kitchen doors. I placed all the parts on the couch nail side up, and completed the day, made a trip to Home Depot, and bought what I didn't have with me to fix it. Maybe the newer Montana's don't have the problem, ours does. I spent 30 years in the Home Construction Business, you do not apply an 8 foot long piece of trim with 50 gun brads, 10 would work, and where is the adhesive, brads will all work out. The money Keystone spends filling all those gun nail holes far exceeds the labor and cost of wood glue, so take the time and look if yours is loose, also, those nice veneer Montana logos, the oval ones applied to the center of the slide trim, ours have both worked there way down the wood, the adhesive they used appears to soften when warm, as in storage, I am going to try a heat gun, and slide them up, then tack a pair of small round head brass nails, and it will look fine, if your wood is sticky above the veneer logo's, there moving down, or on an angle as ours are, just a heads up.
