Today while unpacking and cleaning our TT we noticed our underbelly had seperated and is hanging down approx. an inch. This is under our entrance door ( living room) and the length of the separation is approx. two feet.

I can see inside the gap and can see wood trimming attached to the plastic under belly, and can also see heat duct.

What I don't see are screws, clamps, glue and or silicone that previously held it up and in place.

Anyone with experience with this issue ? What holds this " Belly" up ?? What needs to be done to correct it?

First real issue with our TT..........lucky I guess !

Thanks for any suggestions !

Mine is held up with self tapping screws with a washer. Should be an easy fix but I would put some silicone or some putty between the panel and the frame.

We installed a tank flusher on ours, so we had to remove the underbelly fabric. We reattached it using "GORILLA TAPE" (by the makers of Gorilla Glue) and it has stayed fastened for 4 years and that is quite a bit of travelling in rain/snow. I checked it just the other day to make sure it was still attached and I found another small section that had come loose. Put some more Gtape on it and hope it holds just as well.

Thanks guys ! There are other areas that look like screws were used, but in this area from the axles back there are none.

As far as the tape, the under belly material is still attached to wood stripping, it is the wood stripping that is sagging down.
