You have an '01 Palomino Thoroughbred and the body of the trailer is separating from the frame? Sounds like it has more water damage than you can imagine.

The framing inside the walls has rotted away from the floor. If you hit a big enough gust of headwind when transporting, it will be easy to see because the deck will be hooked up to your truck but the shell will be laying on the road.

ON EDIT:
This English Major would like to thank the O.P. for the threadstarter edit which makes very thorough use of the above-donated punctuation.

Go to the head of the class, O.P.! ;)



Now to your problem, as well as I can parse it:

If the shell appears to be separating from the frame in spite of firmly attached bolts, clearly new points of attachment must be found. Those bolts aren't holding anything but themselves on if the trailer shell is moving around while the rig is in motion.
