After the frame was pull out it was interesting to observe the side-to-side flex in the main rails behind the axles. I didn't notice much up-and-down flex although the original material is definitely quite thin. However, this trailer must have been sitting up quite a bit in the later years rather than traveling and thus I found no rear-end separation.
