    Exterior wall coming loose - 360-RL

    The panel in the front bottom of the unit (under the closet) on one side by the kingpin has come apart and is hanging down loose. There is one screw that holds it in by the kingpin. One side is tight, I think I need to glue the panel to the bottom of the wall as well as tighten the screw and seal the seam that goes to the front cap. What glue would you use between the exterior wall and whatever is under the closet in a the front of a solitude? Thanks in advance.

    Pictures and unit information would help. If this is the exterior skin I would call GD customer service especially if the unit is less than 3 year old.

    I will get pictures, but the unit is just over 3 years old, it is a Solitude 360-RL. It is very similar to the 310 unit.

    I would call Grand Design anyway. They may still help to get it repaired. Can't hurt to call and ask.

    After looking at the floor plan is sounds like the belly aluminum panel for the front overhang has come loose. I'm guessing here without the pictures. It is normally secured in place by screws around the king pin and with the outside seam edge trim assembly along with a few field screws. Are there any holes where screws might have been? To repair I believe you will need to loosen the edge trim and slide the panel back in place. Screws are normally self drilling type, but I prefer to drill and screw. I agree give GD a call and they may be able to at least get you information on how to repair. Having pictures for them will help greatly. Whats puzzling is why it came loose in the first place. Might be more to this puzzle than you can see.

    Hope this helps
