Open any accesses you can along the floor & inspect the perimeter of the floor where it meets the sidewalls.

I agree, Airstream and Argosy owners are for most part, wanna-be's.
That's the fun part of the Airstream Forums.
However, that's far removed from a wanna-be's shop, that say they can do whatever to an Airstream, only to find out that the trailer owners received a butcher job at a huge expense.
I strongly suggest, and have for years, that if an owner wishes to use a wanna-be shop, check out their credentials, to assure themselves that they don't get ripped off.
We see, unfortunately, all to often, a butcher job, that was expensive, and was wrong from the get-go, that now needs to be corrected, and again, at the owners expense.
Insurance companies rarely will pay for a rework. Subrogation for them is expensive.
Probably number one on that list, is sheet metal repair and/or replacement, that was done incorrectly from the beginning.
Airstream owners, have a top quality product and to us, deserve top quality shop repairs, regardless of the nature.
