What's wrong?
The aluminum siding on the 2022 East To West Della Terra and Silver Lake travel trailers covers the side wall and helps seal the body from weather and road spray. It is held at the edge by a sidewall extrusion, a trim channel that grips and secures the front edge of the metal siding.
On affected trailers, the extrusion was installed with inconsistent side pressure at the plant. When the installer did not press the extrusion into place firmly enough, the channel did not cover the front edge of the sidewall metal as designed. That leaves the siding less secure, so normal travel can let it loosen and detach from the trailer body.
Owners can notice the siding starting to loosen before it comes off. Look for aluminum siding that lifts, gaps, waves, or separates near the sidewall edge.
