I could see by the way things were attached that it was done in a hurry. A lot of the screws that hold things on have been overdriven to the point they have stripped out the material they're screwed into.
When we got our trailer, the front screen door would close properly. The screws holding the top hinge to the screen frame had been overdriven into the thin material of the frame. I pop riveted the hinge in place of the stripped screws. A similar fate for the outside power inlet socket (I don't know what its proper name is) the screws were overdriven into the outside skin and stripped so the socket wasn't secure. The factory "fixed" this by bogging up the socket with silicone to try to prevent it leaking ... FAIL. I replaced the socket and gasket and attached it with nuts and bolts. Another problem solved.
