Can you better explain what the galvanic corrosion you experienced on the Jayco involved? Did the staples holding the aluminum panels rot out causing the aluminum panels to become detached from the trailer?

Yeh, it was in the front corners going from the bottom and working it's way to the top. The service techs thought it was staples that worked out rubbing on the inside of the panel. Staples on the corner, just outside of the corner vertical trim piece.
They weren't sure without ripping all the trim and panels off which they said would be a few thousand or even more in parts and labor. So I elected to just fix the corrosion areas instead of pulling everything off. If I had a pole barn, I would had attempted to do things myself.
