Molding for Fiberglass couch and dinette benches

The side closest to the door of the couch is pulling away what type of molding should I use and the benches are pulling away from the back wall of the camper any suggestions on what I need to do to secure these areas thank you

Registry
What you describe doesn't sound normal and could indicate deformation of the shell. That is usually caused by (1) loss of frame support from below, due to cracks or rust-out, and/or (2) loss of cabinet support within the trailer- closet by door is especially critical. Inspect your frame carefully and check that all the interior pieces are present and tightly riveted to the shell (try gently twisting the inside part of the rivets with a pair of pilers).

Let us know what you find, perhaps post some pictures of the separation, and I'm sure you'll get some good suggestions.
