Wall Moving?

2018 Flying Cloud 28 RBQ.


Wall between bathroom and bedroom appears to have moved about a half inch away from the interior aluminum wall. U-shaped rubber trim strip has come loose as a result.

Anyone seen this happen before? What's the fix? I see nothing that attaches the wall to the floor, so suspect I'd have to remove the toilet and the panel behind it to see what anchors the wall. It does not appear that the floor the wall is attached to has moved, just the wall.


Lookin' forward to a resolution.


PS. trailer has been on some very rough roads for the past couple of months. In the US you drive on the right side of the road, in England they drive on the left side of the road, in Newfoundland we've had to drive on what's left of the road. Lot's of potholes!

Yep, I’ve seen it happen a few times before.
First object is to determine why. Most likely a missing or stripped screw or two.
Once you get the wall back I place with various methods of force you will need to establish a new anchor point.
I in the past have added a small cleat in the area behind the black tack vent pipe. One on top and one on bottom screwed to the floor and ceiling should prevent any more movement.

Thanks. So it sounds like I'll have to take the toilet out. No big deal, I installed a Dometic 320 inplace of the 310 some years ago. But what holds down the curved wood behind the toilet? I'm not seeing any fasteners? Hopefully removing it and the trim around the black tank vent pipe will give the access I need?
