My RV is just like yours, but slightly longer. Yes, I had to re-glue both front brackets and rear grill section. I used JB Weld, and a super construction adhesive. Similar prep as you, and the repairs have been holding 7 and 9 years, so far, so good.
I like the design, and it has held up for 11 years of full time living. I liked the 34Y design but needed a bit more room. I have needed to replace the slide toppers, did it myself. The main awning ripped in a windstorm a year ago, replaced with a better one. Replaced the Norcold refer cooling unit with a JC Refrigeration electric compressor cooling unit two years ago (best move ever), AC blower fan motor replaced a year ago, various other little repairs along the way.
The 340 engine has gotten us all over the country, plus towing a jeep. Just do normal maintenance, and it works well. Not that there haven't been a few things along the way. An alternator 4 years ago, a fan clutch 3 years ago, a radiator hose 1 year ago, a drive belt and a turbo actuator this summer. None were big show stoppers, just fix and keep on truckin.
