Description of the problem	Rv standing still at the time. Piece of trim fell off. 1. 5" x 1. 5" x 13. 5', square 1/8" thick aluminum tubing. Approx. 20 lbs. You can imagine what kind of problems this could have caused if i was doing 60 mph on the freeway!!! Found that it was secured by 4, self tapping screws, that had sheared off. I have the same kind of trim on the other side of the coach (much longer piece), where i found at least one sheared screw already. Called the manufacturer and they said (just bring it in and get it fixed!) kind of scares me not knowing if it could happen again. I don't see why not! This is a forest river, georgetown, model 373. I'm providing this info because your drop down does not show this model!!
