Ok thanks. I would have imagined there would be something like 2x2 framing with some sheathing then the metal. But you’re saying it’s: the metal, then foam, then 1/4 ply, then the framing? Or is there even any actual framing to it?
I can’t remember if the stud framing in that trailer is aluminum tubing or 2x2 lumber. Either way there is rigid foam between the studs which is sandwiched and laminated between the thin outer fibreglass wall and the inner 1/4” ply. The only other metal is the decorative rock guard up front but I’m pretty sure it is just screwed on top of the outer wall material.
Waviness in the wall, inside or out, is a sign of water damage where delamination from the core material has occurred. Only real way to possibly fix it would be to cut the inside ply wall away, remove the core material, then try to laminate new core to outer wall skin and framing and then laminate new ply to inside.
