Wood glue held to dry by brads or small finish nails. I had a piece of crown that came loose.

I have a small compressor on board for airing tires, but also carry a combination 18 gauge brad nailer/1/4" crown stapler, that has come in real handy over the years. Had several incidents with cabinet doors opening during travel and hanging up on the slides, with assorted damage, but easily repairable with a battery powered drill and the nailer. We also had one of the vertical slide trim come off during travel, but it took longer to get the nailer out with the air hoses than it took to nail the trim back in place. Wouldn't travel without it.

You can use small ring shank nails . If you ever want to remove the trim then you would probably have to rip the trim off as nothing holds better than ring shanks except screws. You can find ring shanks that will probably match the color of your trim at Home Depot or Lowe's.

In our old rig I used wood glue and small black screws. No one ever noticed and I only had to fix it once in 70,000 miles.

Like Rohrmann, we carry an air compressor and among our tools is a Brad nailer and Elmer’s glue.
These are necessary items no matter the brand. Our brad gun is used on pretty much every trip in our Monty...

For those of you who don't have a compressor and don't want to invest in one plus a Bradnailer Ryobi Tools makes a battery operated Brad nailer called an Airstrike.
I do handyman work, so I carry some battery powered tools with me.

I had crown moulding falling off, took to CW for other warranty repairs and all they did was re-nail using brads, which didn't hold the first time, not sure why they thought using them again was a better idea..... I found these after posting my question and was pointed in this direction. They work GREAT !!! I went ahead and did all my crown and now its all solid. Took back the rig to CW for other warranty work, they asked about it and I showed them what I used, they went to HD and got several boxes.
This works great for the crown, I wouldn't use it for other trim such as cabinets.
