Like I said, POS!

I've seen what water damage is on a trailer so I'm not surprised at what
you're finding. Make sure you check the sidewalls also as the water can
go down inside them and that results in really wicked rot.

Award built a really nice series of trailers including a neat 5th wheel.
After the factory closed and the assets were bought by former employees,
their biggest source of income came from repairing the Awards that had
leaked, most if not all have some damage. There are some folks who have
posted on the Yahoo Award group and have seen the front and rear caps
off the trailers, horrible.

I recall a guy who had a conventional 5th wheel and undertook the job of
repairing water damage on it. He had pictures too and they were gross.
Couldn't even tell what some of the stuff was supposed to look like as
the rot had gone so far.
