Structure · reported Dec 1, 2008
I have a 38 FT 17000 lbs fifth wheel trailer toy hauler. The door that comes down in the back is separating from the trailer I can see day light through the one inch gap. The door is held on with a few bolts that are stripped. If it is not fixed and the door comes off it could cause a major problem.
