I believe that the cause for the separation has different roots, and not just one. Water leaks, either by means of leaking windows, hatches, or plumbing are definitely one of the causes, softening the floor and eventually rotting.
Vibration is another cause. Regular road vibration, as well as that from a poorly balanced running gear.
Then owner abuse...bike racks, spare tires, lack of attention and maintenance...driving habits...etc.etc.
The construction of the trailer isn't perfect. Nothing is....

Marcus, we missed each other. I went to Austin 2 years in a row to exhibit at your convention center.
While in Austin in July, I stayed at the Pecan Grove RV park, in my Overlander. It rained a lot, so the place was a mess, but the year before it was great. Love the restaurant on Barton Springs Road and had coffee and dinner there just about every day during my week long stay.
