Thanks for the replies that pertained to the subject. I took the board of sheeting out along with the 1x1's, pulled all the flimsy staples, used wood glue and screws to reattach to the sheet with a 2x2 in the back. I reinstalled the sheeting, although I had to remove one of hydraulic supports to get everything in. The area is now much more stable and secure.
My pet peeve is that spending a large sum of money to purchase a highly rated RV doesn't guarantee that certain aspects of the unit will be well put together. The use of flimsy staples rather than glue and screws is prevalent throughout the unit.
My old 2001 Cardinal was well made. I've done more work shoring up things in my Silverback in the past 6 months since I purchased it than I ever did owning my Cardinal for 12 years. I still like my Silverback and certainly hope that the major components remain solid, but all buyers need to remain watchful of the small details.
