I owned mine for 2 years before I discovered it. It is not noticeable until it is too late, or you get to prying around and find it. I noticed one of the screws pulling out on mine, and tried to screw it back into nothing....starting prying around and ended up replacing the entire upper shell seal and wood. Not a fun project..

Your trailer is a 2001 and has an all wood frame. There have been several posts about all wood framed trailers having wood-rot in the lower frames.
You made a statement, "they are
still using wood strips along the edges so that they have something to staple the seals to." This was news to me and I haven't seen any posts about it
on the aluminum frame trailers. I guess that I should have made that more clear.
