I've used 3M-77 spray contact adheasive, held for the 6years I had
the coach, a couple of years since. Cleaned it with a putty-knife,
very little remaining, made the doghouse cover (top part) in one
piece so that it holds itself pretty well. The contact adheasive has
to be applied properly, and the foam soaks it up so the foam side has
to be applied liberally, if you do it wrong I'm sure it will fail.

Others have used 3M-90, a stronger version, probably a good idea.

I also applied one to a doghouse which was the pressure-sensitive
backing, stuck very well. Clean the surface first for best results.

Another FC I had I applied a lead quilted product, very expensive and
very heavy, it needed to be mechanically fastened which worked well
as the lead inner layer keeps its shape between fasteners. I drilled
the fasteners through from the carpet side before carpeting, the flat
sheet-metal plates hide well under there.

I feel that all methods work if properly prepared/used, I've had no
failures. Just like painting, prep is the most important step.
