Hopefully it doesn't happen in my 13QBB, so far so good but I am going to use it at a seasonal campground this year so it is going to be used a lot hopefully it doesn't happen!

Hello,

No problems with our laminate so far. But, the whole kitchen counter top is separating from the aluminum framing below. I am waiting to see what will happen next? I have some aluminum angle stock and a tube of PL Premium construction adhesive. The PL adhesive is water proof, temperature resistant and maintains flexibility. I am just going to secure the counter top back to the aluminum frame and wait? We are not going to spend allot of time on this and may replace all the counter tops if this continues and or the laminate starts to separate. 


Really, the factory can do a great job welding the trailer's structure but cannot properly fasten a counter top? 

Cheers,

Counter tops sound like a potential issue.  I will check mine out at delivery and keep an eye on it.
