I just spoke with Matt at Northwood. He explained to me that the trailer is very new and that the buckling on the front cap is normal. He said that things should settle in after time has passed and it should not be a problem. He told me to keep an eye on it and if there is any problems to call them. He was very polite and said they were documenting everything. I just hope this filon over wood stud construction is reliable. The sides aren't smooth when you look down the side of the trailer and I already had to caulk gaps between the filon and the molding. Matt told me that they have been making them this way for years.
