No matter what, I would glue it too. I have used Gorilla Glue, and "Tacky Glue" with good success. Regular wood glue may not hold if both surfaces ae smooth and finished. If you use the Gorilla glue - use it a little sparingly as it expands. Of course, there must be a backer for any of this to work. Good luck.

Get some dark finish nails at your favorite home supply and tack nail it back in place along the line of staples. If you push you should feel the bracing they nailed to. Get someone to hold it up with you first to check fit then to get the nails started to hold it up.

Steve, Grand Design probably used a pin nailer to attach the side trim pieces on the valances at each of your windows; they did on ours.
All but two of ours have fallen off after just several thousand miles of travel - not bumped off, just shaken off - and last two will soon do so. Note that these are VERTICAL pieces where the stresses of road travel are more perpendicular to the pins. I'd *guess* that pin-nailing a horizontal piece up such that its weight and travel stresses are just pulling the pins out the way they went in wouldn't last long at all. (However if you want me to tell your wife that you really need a pin nailer, PM me!)
I've reattached our side trim pieces with a brad nailer and they are *much* more solidly-attached. However that horizontal panel you're fighting with may be more paper than wood, and brads may not hold it very well either.
Therefore I'd go with staples, decent-sized ones, and use one of the "magic marker" furniture blemish pens to hide them.
Good luck.Last edited by boyscout; 09-08-2019 at 08:00 PM.

Thanks for the analysis. I agree. Last month I had to remove the valance and those vertical trim pieces to rewind the shade (After I took it down, I think the rewinder might have been accessible without removing the valance. . .).
Yes -- the vertical trim pieces are pin nailed. I removed the pins and re-installed with heavy-duty 3M Velcro tape -- in anticipation of removing the valance at some later date -- didn't know I'd be soon re-attaching the horizontal panel.
To re-attach the panel, I agree the pin nailer is something I can put off buying -- for now. But I think the staples are a compromise, too. I'm leaning toward a 1/2 inch wide, flat molding strip pre-drilled with cosmetically pleasing, equally spaced holes, then attached that thru the panel and into the backing block with brown/bronze pan-head screws.
I've been staining with (MinWax?) Coffee stain and topping with satin polyurethane. Seems to blend pretty well with the rest of the finish in the 2018 310GK.
All this advice has been great. We're on vacation now in the Wisconsin woods, heading for Michigan's UP. I'll get this project taken care of when we get home first of October.
Thanks.

My husband bought a brad nailer and secured everything. Several folks have borrowed it. Looks great.
Staples aren’t fastened tight

I bought a 2 gallon air compressor when we went full time in our first motorhome for reasons such as filling tires and such. It was not long after that I bought a finishing air gun that shot 5/8 to 2 inch nails just for maintenance in the trailer. Seems this is a good example as to why. Even in the new 2019 solitude I have found a few reasons such as trim to use it. Cost of that gun surr beats the ijconvience of searching down some one to do it, hauling the rig to them and paying their price.
