I just got back from putting few things in fifth wheel. Will be going for a weekend trip in five weeks. We have it in storage facility. I noticed today that the top led light strip has come loose. This happened once before and some lights went out. Warranty replaced and now loose again. What is best way to secure this light strip? Is there some type of glue I need to use?2044620447

I'd use automotive trim adhesive. It's available at WalMart and any auto parts store. Here's one link: https://www.walmart.com/ip/3M-Auto-Advanced-Plastic-Emblem-and-Trim-Adhesive-1-fl-oz-Tube/16913676?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227009963383&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=42965945432&wl4=pla-81457922792&wl5=9017373&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=16913676&wl13=&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz9m09ZzV4AIVgRh9Ch2T9w7jEAQYASAB EgJ0gfD_BwE

You mentioned the LED strip being replaced once already, so you don't want to use anything "permanent" since you may need to remove it for future replacement if more LED's stop working.

If you do use this type adhesive, apply strips of masking tape on both top/bottom of the existing location, pull the LED strip away, clean it as best you can, apply the adhesive (per instructions) and reapply. Once done, remove the masking tape. That way you won't have "over-brushed adhesive" to clean up.....

Another thing to try to stick the strip on with:
Clean the adhesive off the strip and the trailer as thoroughly as you can. Get some 3M Command strips to reattach it with. The adhesive on these strips sticks like s**t to bunny fur. But you can still get them off easily if the LED strip needs to be replaced in future.
