Body depression door side

Hi Folks, I’m new to the site but I’m in the rebuild of a 17’ Boler and have an issue I need some help with. I bought a I7 foot boler two summers ago. It was old and the interior was very tired and worn so I decided to gut the inside. Im in the process of putting the new interior together and while I didn’t see any sagging in the roof I put some tension on it anyways. When I did this I saw the side wall along the entry side wasn’t “true” but had, what I’ll describe as an indentation but the door. I put some sidewall tension on that side and, while it did push the sidewall out’ the door then was “proud” on both the bottom and top.
Any suggestions would be great

Not sure about Boler but Scamp has a piece or two of wood that attaches to the bottom of the shell on either side of the door. If they rot out or become detached from the shell the door and side will be able to shift.

General comment not Boler specific: Any cabinetry next to the door is part of the structural strength in that area. Exteriors on these trailers are pretty flimsy. Anything vertical and a lot of the horizontal interior become art of the structural strength.
