Final fix.
I finally fix the gap. Here's the pictures https://plus.google.com/photos/112375037924092473550/albums/6143202913736773041?authkey=COG_8aGq06S2pwE
On my way up to Canada I stopped at Keystone and saw how my trailer was built. So it gave me a very good understanding on how it was made, therefore I could plan my fix.I repaired it by opening channels in from the interior and glued a 2x6 to the external walls, then installed lag bolts from the bottom. No more gap and nothing moves (or everything move at once, as it was when new). At the same time I replaced the fibreglass insulation by solid 1 inch blue styrofoam. Costs me about $30 plus my time. The most time was spent in removing and reinstalling the drawers and shelf on the right side of the trailer.
Thanks all for your answers and comments.
