Part of the joy of owning a travel trailer is constant repair. Today was another round of repairing loose screws in the valences and toilet paper holder.
In this case, the screws had pulled out of the thin wood paneling so a repair was required. For this repair, I use wooden toothpicks and wood glue.
With the screws removed I apply a little bit of wood glue to three toothpicks and fit them into the hole. After the glue has dried, use diagonal cutters to trim the tooth picks to the panel.
Then screw the fasteners back in. The new wood and glue gives the screws something to bit into and hold on to.
The screw driver on my pocket knife works well for getting to the screws in the valences. However, to screw into the filler wood, I used a quarter inch ratchet wrench, quarter inch socket, and a driver bit. An actual offset ratcheting screw driver would be better.
