Bill, thank you this is ow that I was considering buying but it sounds more work than it’s worth. I would have to take it to a shop to do it.

The bag seals look messy, but they can be replaced. If it is an older TM with wood wall framing, the problem may be more serious.
Just so you know, TMs are built almost entirely with aluminum (no steel), so soldering is not possible. As a practical matter, welding isn't possible, either. And unless this is a brand-new TM (doesn't look like it), the entire shell cannot be replaced - doing so would be costly enough that the insurance company would total the trailer.
So in a practical sense, your only choice is a mechanical repair. The real question is - what does it look like under the blue tape? Can you peel off the tape, and then look into the joint from outside? We need to see how the sidewall framing is attached to the front wall framing, and if there is major damage in that area.
