Narrow Staple Gun

My trailer uses a lot of very narrow staples to hold things together. I have some repairs to do and would like to use the narrow staples too but I can't find a staple gun or staples as narrow as mine. I can find 1/4" staple guns but the staples used in my trailer are probably more like 1/8". Any idea where I might find a really narrow staple gun and staples?

    I usually see 1/8" leg staples but seldom see a crown of less than 3/8".

    go to lowes or home depot take a staple with you, show the clerk it,ll most likely be a air stapler. home depot rents tools.

    Oops
    I tried to post this in your post :E

    Look at cable/wire staplers, some get very narrow
    Start with Amazon and go from there

    It's probably an air stapler. I had one once and I think the staples were pretty narrow.
