weekend warrior issues

Thanks for starting the new thread on this subject. I bought a 07 slc3905 late last fall and the snow came within a week so never got to really thru it like I wanted. We used it this last weekend and loved it, everything worked great BUT I found the interior wall has a small buckle and the inside wheel well cover has pulled away from the wall. On the outside, inside the wheel well behind the tires the plastic is seperated and has been filled with silicon. Is this the same issue with the wall jacking and reinforcing the frame. Where do I start?

I am glad this is helping. That's what I ultimately wanted!!! I will upload some pictures when I get closer to completion. My wheel wells had separated some, but to be honest, I took the fender flares off the outside of the trailer, put a piece of 4' angle iron and jacked it up with 2 high lift jacks to see if the walls would go back into place, and upon lifting it, it raised the trailer off the jack stands, so all the pressure was on the walls and it didn't budge at all. I was told you can take a square and level and see if your floor/walls are tilted out at all. Well I did that and it's different all the way around the trailer, so to say it was "perfect" before, may be a long shot. I tried jacking up all sides of the trailer walls only to see that the walls didn't move one bit. So now, I just have it set on jack stands at the very rear of the trailer, use the landing gear in front as "jack stands", and the suspension has no weight on it, and I am welding in some 1/4" 2"x3" angle iron and using some small 3/4" tubing to angle brace the angle iron. In the wheel wells inbetween the tires I put a piece of 3/4" tubing that I cut at an angle to go from the bottom of the frame at an angle to the outter portion of the fender well, just to the inside of where the fender flare screws into and sits. I have almost finished one side of the trailer. I also put a piece of 2"x2" square tubing from one side of the frame to the other at the front axle, and will do it at the rear too so the frame cant flex or twist. I am excited to get this project done, and see how much stronger it is. Everyone's recommendation was to take it to socal rv, but that is not in my budget nor is it in most peoples budget. My only concern is welding near the insulation that's underneath the trailer.
