Need help with a Exterior problem

I was looking to buy a new Trailer but the trailer has some cracks on the exterior. I was wondering if anyone has an idea what it could be and if it repairable for a reasonable price.

I agree with this! This trailer is new??


The trailer is a 2018 but has a salvage title do to storm damage.

Ya it’s on the auction listed as salvage. According to the auction the damage is caused by storm damage.

Would the repair be more than $6000. And my dad paints so I’m not worried about the painting price.
