Just undertook to repair the interior paneling that had delaminated beneath the Windows. While doing this, I undertook to repair the wobbly passenger rear view mirror on my 88 Southwind. It is quite simple. Seems as though the interior plastic wall covering for the passenger is attached with a single screw and double sided adhesive. Remove the one screw, carefully pry the plastic panel away from wall and/or cut adheshive tape with utility knife. There is convenience pocket on this wall panel that has screws that go into the wall, so the panel needs to be pulled away from the wall sufficiently so that the ends of these screws clear the wall. When the screws clear the wall and the adhesive is cut, slide the plastic panel to the rear of the motor home. Once it is removed, you can easily access the four bolts that attach the mirror.
Reverse process to reinstall.
On mine, the water leak from the window (and mirror) resulted in the rotting of the wooden block that served as the mirror anchor. This is what caused my mirror to wobble. There was also a wooden plywood block that may have been an add-on that extended the mirror further from the van sidewall. It was rotten as well.
