Staple fix?

Our 2017 Rockwood Windjammer has staples in the interior walls that pop out during transport. What are good replacements for these staples? Are there small nails that will stay in, and won’t look bad?

RV materials are very flimsy as it is... I'd be really cautious about changing the materials that they used.

Are there enough staples in there? Some photos might really help to get an idea of what exactly you're talking about.

I have a new 2020 Cruise Lite that has that issue in the master bedroom and bathroom. I tried using larger staples but found that after bouncing a few miles down the road the problem was back. I ended up just putting in a few screws with washers under the decorative tape between the panels making sure the screw was going into a stud. It doesn't look the greatest but the problem is gone.

I have a 2506s Mini Lite and when put it the slide brace in, I got it against the trim instead of the slide wall. It popped off the trim, which was stapled up (top of slide). I put it back up with screws and putty’d as necessary. I feel much better about it.

My problems haven't been on any exterior walls but many of the interior components such as the dinnette seat backs and such. Flimsy paneling stapled to aluminum tube frame. I ended up pop riveting things together and then touched up the aluminum pop rivet head with matching paint. Did have some panel movement on the wall between the living space and the bath. That wall is wood framed so I used a few small screws, painted to match, and then hung some "wall art" over the screws.
