Dash/Outer Frame Separation

The few times have gone to see the RV's being built ( National, Winebaggo (sp) Monacco) the front cap is made up with the windshield installed and it is then placed on the front of the RV box and secured around the out side edges. Don't see how they could have gotten in to secure the dashes to the front cap.
I'd bet the foam was the agent used to secure the dash to the inside of the cap, can you get some more foam in there and see if it stops it??

I'm a guy who likes options so today, I called the only shop that says that they specialize in RV body repairs and made an appoint for a couple of weeks from now.

This evening, I started spraying foam and will put back the angle iron that was attached to the dash tomorrow. I'm doing this to try to at least stabilize things for the 45 mile one way tip to the shop. I'll layer the foam in place over the next few days, trying to build it back up to match the driver's side, which has shown no signs of problems. It is the contrast between those to sides that suggests to me that there is something more wrong.

There is no question that the foam was used as the agent to tie the top part of the dash to the inside of the front cap. There is no other structural element. Whether it was strong enough to also stabilize the side remains to be seen. It is possible that the original problem was that there wasn't enough foam but the drivers and passenger sides seem evenly matched in that regard, at least from what I can see.

Thanks again for the responses.
