The walls have become unstapled on the insides of the slides.   Questioning if I should go in there with a air stapler and slightly longer staples. I do not have a truck and this is parked at our permanent site. I know it is a warranty issue, that the dealer suggests wait until Fall and bring it in with the laundry list of other fixes. But if all they are going to do is hit it with some staples....well....I can do that. |

That's all the shop will do. May need some adhesive, also. I had to reattach some wall end trim on ours.

I would hit it and have them inspect when you take it in.

I would go along with the suggestion to go head and reattach it however you would like, staples, adhesive, etc. Moldings ,trim and the like coming loose is pretty common in most RVs it seems since we are pulling, hauling, or driving rolling earthquakes down the road.
One of the things people new to owning RVs, (and aren't very often educated by dealers and sales folks) find out that there is always something to fix, upgrade or change with their rigs. I saw the other day in a comment that some folks consider doing all these things like a "hobby". I never thought about it that way, but is does sound like a good attitude to have and embrace.

Some would argue that after spending 10s of thousands of dollars, they shouldnt have to absorb a new hobby. Especially in the first hours,days,weeks of ownership Also a suggestion to all the manufacturers and Venture in particular with this instance. Use a beefier staple, one thats bigger than a Advil pill.  |

Cost and weight savings for the small staples. It only has to get through the warranty period.

I've noticed the same problem on our rig. It looks like half of the staples completely missed board they were supposed to be stapling to.

Well I went in with a air stapler and longer staples as well as some adhesive this past weekend. All good now, other than the fact that you can see the bigger more lifelike staples.
