The camper in question had aluminium skeleton, but there was no aluminium on front wall. The frame T, where front sides had main support had 3/4 x 1.5" wood stick for horizontal support.
Even it was reinforced with plywood on both sides, not much for about 1500 lb static load it was carrying. Add ties tension and all additional load.
Seem all campers are build this way.
Wood has good load rating when dry, but leave it under the load in wet weather and with time it will sag and sag and sag.
So it was poorly constructed and rotted out. That stinks. What does it have to do with the OP's query?
