We went out to where the RV is stored today & the trim on both sides rear is coming off. Looks like it's had silicone put under it. Do I just need longer screws? Or do I need to try a different remedy?

Trim? Need a pic.

Pictures. But very probably you have rot.

Jesilva is probably right but i would definatly try longer or thicker screws I was having the same issue on my 95 and I fixed it with thicker screws

Thank you. We put fresh silicone caulk (good from -60° to 400°F and longer screws. Worked like a charm.

Well, it worked until DH didn't leave himself enough room at the pump & scraped it off. Now, I need to see if I can find replacement part.

We are good at going 2 steps forward 3 steps back!! Sorry to hear about your engine problems
:( I was trying to figure out by one of your posts in another thread... Is your engine done :( ?

Our truck is 12ft. and our TT is 25ft. DH pulls into a gas station. When he is ready to leave I make sure the truck windows are down and I watch him slowly pull out. So far no damage. This can also be done as you exit your campsite. Easy enough to get back in the truck. I haven't been left behind yet.
