| 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. *tr | |||
