Rear wall distorting on Columbus 365rl

[Bamaboy1001]

We have a 2014 Columbus 365RL 5th wheel. I damaged the left rear at a campround when the owner ask me to pull around and relocate. The panel was ripped back about 6 inches near the bottom (you could stick your hand inside the camper). I repaired as well as I could and this has been working for 50k miles. Now the left rear ( and somewhat across the bottom back) is distorting outward. Since the rear of the camper is "free floating" and not tied to the frame, I am at a loss exactly how to correct this. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I have a 2013 Columbus 320RS. Three of the aluminum frame studs pulled away from the bottom rail on the right rear lower corner due to a poor weld during manufacturing. This caused the side panel the pop out a couple of inches. If yours ripped back 6”, chances are at least one of the aluminum frame studs broke away from the horizontal frame at the bottom. I brought mine to the Columbus factory and they welded the studs after cutting the rear skin off. They spliced a new piece of sidewall in and it looks good. Try to find an RV body shop or even one with boat experience. Otherwise, contact Columbus and they might be able to help. Good luck.
