I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I bought a flamingo camper and love it. Its easy for my daughter and I to handle on our own.

I noticed that the interior plastic roof stripping used to cover the interior roof joins are dropping. A friend told me to use liquid nails to hold it back up but with the heat it has dropped again.
Can anyone tell me the correct product to use as I can't stand it. It looks tacky, I can see the little staples!!

cheers Chuckie

Hi Chuckie,

We also had the same problem with our jayco. After trying the different glues we gave up and brought new stripping. To press the new strip in you need a rubber mullet to firmly press back into joins. So far so good.

Cheers and good luck.

Kerry.

Whoops, make that mallet not mullet. Although that would look funny trying to tap it back in with a fish!! lol

Sounds like a common problem, we had a Swan O/B and same thing, i had to pull it completely off and start again as it seemed to "walk" in one direction. I never got it looking right!

a clean block of wood and a hammer is all you need start one end and work across van . I worked at a dealership for a while and many vans came from the factory with the strip not fitted properly.
