The crease, or bulge, is only on one side. The other side looks fine.

Yes - the corrosion will worm track it's way beyond the cover-up over time.

Name plate

My trailer also had the same filiform corrosion behind the name plate. I used some acrylic -r and resealed the name plate. So far it has not migrated further. I wonder if this could be depriving it of the oxgen it needs to spread. Also that ring fix is a little hoaky.

We have an 03 Safari SS mfg in July 2002. We are the 2nd owners of the unit and have not experienced any major problems. Yes, we do hve the peelng of the coating on the front and the back of the unit. Corrission around the logos and on the tire rims. No major problems with the interior. When not in use we keep the trailer in our hanger that is only 10 minutes away from our house so, at least, during our ownership it does not sit outsdie very much to be exposed to the elements of the weather. I clean the outside of the trailer after each use and in between trips. In other words, I don't let the dust settle on it

There isn't very much you can do about the corrission issue other than treat it with something like Corrission X. It's a way of life with Airstreams.

I also store my trailer in a heated hangar... right behind my plane (see photo). The corrosion has not become significantly worse, probably due to the dry indoor storage.
